Today I begin a 12 day trip to Easter Europe to talk about IBM Storage.
The trip will take me to:
- Moscow, Russia
- Warsaw, Poland
- Prague, Czech Republic
- Ljubljana, Slovenia
- Umag, Croatia
In Russia, on September 6, I will be at the Information Infrastructure Conference and the following day meeting with customers to discuss storage and storage efficiency.
In Poland on September 8, I will be presenting IBM’s Real-time Compression at Storage University.
In Prague I will be meeting with the press as well as speaking with customers. Additionally, I will be spending the weekend in Prague, a city I have always wanted to visit.
In Slovenia on September 14, I will be presenting at IBM’s Innovation Center at an IBM Solutions Event.
Finally in Croatia on September 15, I will be at the IBM Forum, the largest IBM even in Croatia.
In each location, I will be speaking with partners and customer on IBM’s innovation in storage, storage efficiency and Real-time Compression. I am looking forward to learning what the largest storage challenges are across Eastern Europe and users go about solving their challenges. Additionally, I will be doing some local enablement for our partners and sellers.
I will blog from each location. I will talk about the professional part of my travels as well as, hopefully, one personal event. I have tried to make sure that in each city I have time to do one interesting thing. I don’t know when, if ever, I’ll be back to these cities and these are some places I have always hoped to go. Too often we travel and its all business.
Also stay tuned, when I land I will have an update from my trip to VMworld. It was fantastic. Truly the best end user show around. I learned a great deal and can’t wait to share some of what I saw. As always – comments are always welcome.
