Citrix Synergy is always a fantastic event!  Citrix does a wonderful job of putting on the show, and they always offer great information during keynotes and breakout sessions, treat the press and attendees very well, offer great opportunities for networking, and they know how to throw a fantastic party!  All in all, this is one of the best trade shows that I make every effort to attend each year.

Here are a few scenes from around the show.

Waiting around for the keynote to begin.  If you forgot where you were and what you were waiting on, just look at the stage!

DJ Solomon spinning some crazy music for folks waiting for the Synergy 2011 keynote to start.  Really lively and up beat music... a nice change from some other shows.

Waiting for the keynote to begin.  Try to avoid a sugar coma if you can.  They don't make it easy.

Even Dilbert showed up at Citrix Synergy 2011 - Some attendees even had the chance to be featured in a comic strip!

How did VMblog get all of that wonderful video footage from the show?  Thanks to Brian Ducharme, who did one heck of a job!

Day 1 Keynote was hosted by Mark Templeton.  Here, Mark is showing off some of the amazing things with Citrix Receiver.
