I like to be sure I have something to say, before I accept an offer to speak at a user group or conference. Just so happens that with all the innovation in CPUs and SSDs over the past year, I sure do! I love tinkering with hardware, and will of course be mixing it up with virtualization software tips and home lab ideas. For the first event coming up on February 17th event, I even plan to bring one of the first-in-world Xeon D-1541 systems produced.
What I enjoy the most about speaking is the audience interaction during Q&A. There's nothing like discussing ideas with fellow IT Pros and PC/Server enthusiasts, and the back and forth is always a joy. Any speaking opportunity is quite the honor, and a nice chance to give back to the community.
Suddenly, in the last few weeks, all these opportunies were offered. Some are in New England, some are global/online and free. So why not join me?
