VeeamON is coming to New Orleans, a.k.a “The Big Easy”. A nickname originating in the early 20th century as a reference by musicians to the relative ease of finding work there.
From May 16 to 18, 2017 “the Big Easy” of the Data Center Availability market (a big player in the market with an easy to install and manage solution) will hold its flagship conference in town.
One may now ask, why should I attend exactly this conference instead one of the many others taking place? Well, first I would recommend you to attend all the other conferences, too 🙂 (I know, unfortunately, this will not be possible for most of us because of time and budget constraints…)
But let’s take a look at the focus of VeeamON. Veeam writes about their conference: “Welcome to the world’s largest event entirely focused on Availability”. And this sentence is already the answer to the question above: if you want to learn how to ensure Availability and hear all the news about this important topic than VeeamON is definitely the right choice for you.
Another reason why you should attend VeemON is networking.
The conference is a great chance to connect with fellow IT peers, experts and members of the virtualization community. Especially the latter are a great source to learn from. Whether in interesting discussions at one of the social events or in the vCommunity-driven break-out sessions. And as Veeam is a huge supporter of the vCommunity many of them will be there.
So if you attend, you can expect three days full of amazing sessions, certification opportunities, Hands-On labs, demos, networking and LabWarz together with 3.000 other attendees.
The event venue is the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, just beside the Mississippi River. Room rates start at about 200$ for nearby hotels (learn more at the VeeamON Housing site). If you are looking for a flight, the next airport is the “Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY).
With more than 85 breakout sessions, Hands-on labs and an Expo Lounge where over 50 exhibitors are showing their latest technologies, it will be a challenge planning your days at the conference.
If there is still some time left you can test your knowledge of the new Veeam Availability Suite v9.5 in the annual LabWarz. And this pays for itself: besides a lot of fun, more than 25.000 Dollar are waiting for the participants, including a 10.000 Dollar top price!
OK, I want to attend. How much is it and where can I register?
