Overview:

Do you ever wish you could talk directly with leading vendors to help you find cost-effective solutions to remote connectivity solutions such as Citrix Access Infrastructure, SSL VPNs, and a high performance, cost effective platform to deliver this solution...and do it without the hassle of a drive all the way up to the Bay Area?

Well, now you can. VNS, in partnership with Citrix, WatchGuard and HP is bringing the Executive Forum Series to Fresno again. This event will feature business and technical representatives from Citrix, HP and WatchGuard in a relaxed, local event, ready to answer your questions. This quarter, we're excited to be presenting the latest WatchGuard security solutions, Citrix Access Infrastructure Solutions, as well as the latest updates on HP's industry-leading ProLiant server family - the worlds' leading platform for Citrix installations.

The VNS Executive Forum Series is a quarterly seminar designed to educate senior-level executives on evolving technology solutions, as well as to provide an opportunity to engage key representatives (business and technical) from VNS partners in a relaxed environment with their executive peers. The target audience is the business decision-maker – CEO, CIO, IT Director and VP level executives.

These events are small by design, providing an intimate, up-close opportunity to speak directly with vendor reps from leading computer hardware and software manufacturers.

Objectives:

	Provide customers with an overview of the Citrix Access Infrastructure and how Citrix can make the process of connecting remotely virtually seamless to actually being in the office...securely.
	Provide customers with the latest technology overview on the HP ProLiant server family.
	Provide customers an opportunity to meet with business and technical representatives from Citrix, WatchGuard, and HP.
