GWAVACon in EMEA a Huge Success!

GWAVACon was held last month once again in Berlin and from all accounts, was well worth it. There were some great sessions, terrific information, interesting keynotes, good food and fun times. Here's what Michael Mena from BCNS in the UK had to say about this year's GWAVACon EMEA.

"Just a quick email to let you know how much I enjoyed this year's EMEA GWAVACon in Berlin. Before deciding to go, we had to consider the overall cost of attending this event. We needed to be sure that the investment in time and financial resources would pay off for us.

I have to tell you that this event more than met my expectations in these and other areas. Speaking specifically about GWAVA solutions, the information I learned from GWAVA specialists about new products and features and how to position them to our customers was invaluable. I also got the chance to ask questions that only those with product development knowledge could sufficiently answer. Not only that, I felt that through sharing meals and other leisure time activities with GWAVA specialists over the course of the event, I was able to develop relationships where I would feel comfortable picking up the phone to ask questions directly about product releases in the future.

In addition to getting to know GWAVA products and staff better, I also was able to expand relationships with other Novell partners present at the event. It goes without saying that the information Novell put out themselves on the future direction of GroupWise, Teaming, OES and Vibe were very informative. Thanks again for the invite, I look forward to attending next year."

GWAVA Sponsors ATT Live Events

GWAVA was excited to sponsor Novell ATT Live again this year December 7-10, 2010 in Las Vegas. On Sunday evening, December 6, GWAVA hosted a Welcome Reception dinner.

Then on Monday night, December 7, it was Las Vegas Night at the Strip! GWAVA provided buses to take attendees for free to the Las Vegas Strip. It was a great way to check out the sights and enjoy the ambience unique to the Strip without the worry and expense of transportation.
