(+ Recordings) Get to know everything about Citrix and Azure Virtual Desktop at these Citrix Synergy sessions


Citrix Synergy is just around the corner and starts officially on Tuesday the 21st of May. Prior to this event, I received a lot of question which session you need to attend to get to know everything around Citrix and Azure Virtual Desktop.

Note: I’ve updated this article with all the recordings of the sessions I suggested to visit one week ago.

FInd it all out here…

Come visit the Azure Virtual Desktop booth!

(this is obviously not possible anymore, the event happened last week 🙂 ) We do have a Azure Virtual Desktop booth section on the expo hall. It’s on number #416 and we’re (we = people from Microsoft) happy to answer every question you have there.

Hope to see you there.

Cheers,
