What is "Experts 2 Experts Virtualization Conference"?

Experts 2 Experts Virtualization Conference is a series of worldwide non-commercial, virtualization community Events.
Our main goal is to bring the best virtualization experts together to exchange knowledge and to establish new connections. E2EVC is a weekend crammed with presentations, Master Classes and discussions delivered by both virtualization vendors product teams and independent experts.
Started in August 2003 with just 4 people, after 50+ very successful events, E2EVC has grown to a well-recognized event with about 200 attendees. In the last 20 years events, our conference has taken place in cities such as Athens, Munich, London, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Brussels, Cape Town, Frankfurt, Dublin, Orlando, Paris, Prague, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Munich, New York, Nice, Lisbon, Rome, Hamburg, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo, Tel Aviv and Vienna. On average we have 35-40 sessions at each event. Topics are - server, application, desktop, storage virtualization with products from vendors like Microsoft, Parallels, VMware, Citrix and many more. Over 50 of the virtualization community experts present their topics, thoughts and views on the current state of affairs in the industry. Many of current virtualization industry leaders participated in the past or still participate in our events. It's the people that attend, presenters that present and our sponsors who make this event possible.

Optimizing Amazon WorkSpaces for Realtime Communication.

In this session, learn how to get the most out of virtual meetings when using Amazon WorkSpaces.

In today's evolving application landscape, most unified communication (UC) platforms offer a wide array of features. These include 1:1 and group chat rooms, file storage and sharing, live events and webinars, interactive screen sharing and control, whiteboarding, and offline audio/video messaging capabilities. When UC applications run within Amazon WorkSpaces, most functionalities require no additional fine-tuning or enhancement. However, it's essential to note that real-time communication elements, such as one-to-one calling and group meetings, are exceptions to this rule. Successfully incorporating these functions requires dedicated focus and planning during WorkSpaces deployment. We look forward to sharing our experience and best practices with attendees. This is a great opportunity to learn how to get the most out of your virtual meetings with Amazon WorkSpaces.
