Have you ever been so excited about a conference and then you attend a session on the first day and it didn’t live up to your expectation? I have and can say that its definitely a turn-off when that happens. Fortunately, I know of a conference for IT and networking technical professionals and business decision makers from across industries.
Extreme Connect is Extreme Networks global user conference taking place in Nashville, Tennessee beginning May 13, 2019, and our technical breakout sessions will not disappoint. No matter which session you choose, each is designed to help you make the most informed decisions possible about migrating, designing, and implementing the right solutions for your organization. Extreme Connect isn’t like other conferences; our user conference was designed with the help end users, so attendees can get the most out of it.
Have you thought about which sessions you’ll be attending? We have plenty planned, and we’ve got you covered regardless of your networking skill set.
“My favorite part of Extreme Connect has been the technical breakout sessions. I’ve been able to learn a lot from those sessions, new roadmaps that are coming out, new emerging technologies, looking at product lines that we aren’t using yet at Sauders, that I might be able to take back to the business and apply.” – Darin Seiler, Network Engineer at Sauder Woodworking Company
