Some of our colleagues ask us what we do in Cannes all day long. It’s easy to explain what the sessions are, presentations sometimes supported by a product demo. But with the Solution Exchange and Hands-on-Labs some still have huge question marks on their faces.

We knew that this was not a good idea as this is the level you will never leave.

Even the competition is welcome as Microsoft and Citrix have their own booth.
