Some speaking engagements

Thursday, March 9th, 2006

I’ll be speaking a few times over the next few weeks, all around the theme of remote access:

  • Montgomery Technology Conference – March 15, 8:00am PST – I’ll be presenting a business overview of Positive Networks, and talking a bit about where we’ve come over the past five years, as well as where we’re going in the future.
  • Six Critical Things You Should Know Before Buying a Remote Access Solution (Webinar) – March 28, 11:00 CST – I’ll be covering a few of the things that need to be considered when deploying a VPN, as well as sharing some of our experiences in hundreds of implementations over the past couple of years. This will be a 40-minute slide presentation and a 20-minute Q&A session. Watch this space for a link.
  • Financial Women’s Association Annual Symposium – April 26, afternoon – I’ll be presenting with a panel about workplace flexibility, and specifically about the role that technology plays in this context.
