What made it the best? I pretty much ignored the scheduled talks and spent
most of the time in one to one discussions. Some of them scheduled in
advance by our great Citrix and Appsense teams, especially Chris and
Alister. Some of them opportunistic scheduled with twitter followers and
some with staff managing the conference. The relatively low attendance made
discussions at the stands viable this time in a way I’ve not experienced at
many conferences. When I did attend sessions, a couple of times it was the
post session chats that added most value.
Prior to this conference I had talked myself out of the value of live
conference attendance, but now with this new strategy I’m back on board. It
takes more prep, but it pays off.

when I got a big screen for my home office I thought I would make most use
of it sat at my desk, luxuriating in all that screen real estate. Whilst I
do use it that way, what’s made most difference is that I can sit on my
sofa with my laptop and use the big screen for remote attendance of web
conferences, watching conference videos, vidcasts etc.
Now with Windows 7 I can put all these various video sources in my Video
Library and they are available in media center, which means I can control
the whole experience using the remote control.
While I watch I can be taking notes or following up leads on the laptop.
When work ends of course, it’s also great for movies and TV.

On recovery days like today, the sofa in the office is my favourite place
to work.
