Citrix iForum 2003 to be held in Dubai

Held in major capitals of European, American and Asian markets for the last 5 years, Citrix iForum is an annual event aimed at the end user.

To be held in Jumeirah Beach Hotel's conference facility, the forum is set to attract technology leaders and innovators from around the world. The event's hosts, Citrix Systems Middle East, and organiser, Mindware FZ LLC, Citrix's sole regional distributor, will showcase their range of virtual digital office solutions at the conference.

"With the rapid growing demands of the region and logistically, with the opening of our Middle East regional office in Dubai Internet City earlier this year, we are in a position to introduce the iForum to the region", commented Antoine Aguado, Regional Manager, Citrix Middle East. Citrix iForum attendees can expect a host of informative topics by European and regional guest speakers, useful breakout sessions and innovative product demonstrations. "Enterprise customers in this region are looking for complete technology solutions and the aim of the iForum is to present a complete architectural solution" he added.

The Citrix iForum will bring together technology leaders and visionary innovators to discuss topics such as remote office connectivity solutions and the fastest and most efficient ways of getting new and remote offices working together. "The event will bring to light the latest in Workforce Mobility Solutions in order to bring flexibility in the normal office structure" emphasized Lara Christopher, Marketing Manager of Mindware. Application Deployment Solutions is another topic that iForum will look to target, teaching attendees to bring new applications on the internet in minutes, instead of months. Underlying all of these lessons will be solutions in business continuity, keeping business information flowing no matter what the circumstances.

To date, HP, Microsoft, Veritas, ADIC, Beta Information Technology, Trinec, SchlumbergerSema, Intel, Acer and New Horizons have been named as the Gold and Premier sponsors of the event. The partner exhibition area allows for attendees to visit Citrix partners and explore solutions (products and technologies) around the Citrix architecture.

The benefits of the event are far-reaching. All attendees can expect to learn how to make the most of the latest Citrix technologies and solutions, delivering application access anywhere, anytime, to any device throughout their organization. They will be able to improve business performance using existing IT infrastructure as well as increase productivity by ensuring instant access from any network, including wireless, to the applications and information needed to make their business run smoothly.
