This year the Virtualization Congress is hosted at the Citrix Synergy 2009

Virtualization Congress Panels

The best part of every conference is the panel. There's nothing like an unplugged debate about the hottest topics to ignite the discussion.
The Virtualization Congress features not one but three panels, one at the end of each conference day.

Join the discussion with the leading virtualization vendors, visionary entrepreneurs, independent analysts and of course an engaging moderator!
