The annual Eduserv Symposium is renowned across the communities we serve for delivering thought provoking presentations and discussions around important challenges in the industry.
For 2011, the symposium is focussing on cloud computing and virtualisation. With a line-up of thought leading industry speakers, excellent discussions and networking opportunities, this really is a must attend event for IT Managers and Directors as well as anyone else with a vested interest in realising the benefits in the cloud. 

• Hear about the latest developments in the University Modernisation Fund (UMF) shared services in cloud computing infrastructure project
  
• Understand the strategic role of virtualisation and the cloud in the delivery of shared IT services
  
• Find out about current and future directions in the provision of cloud solutions for compute and storage, both within academia and beyond
  
• Cover the issues and challenges associated with these approaches and their impact on efficiency and cost effectiveness
  
• Listen to practical experiences from institutions already working in the area
  
• Network with peers who have a shared interest in these issues

The Eduserv Symposium 2011 is a free-to-attend event. Places are limited, therefore priority tickets for the Symposium are given to the communities we serve – these include education (higher and further education institutions), central government, local government, health and not- for-profit. If you work for an institution in one of these sectors, you are guaranteed a place when you reserve a ticket.

To ensure a good mix of delegates, we have also allocated a proportion of tickets to other sectors including the commercial sector.We hope to be able to accommodate everyone but this will depend on demand so please wait for our confirmation before you make your travel arrangements.

To ensure that delegates attend the event, Eduserv reserve the right to apply a no show fee of £100 unless you have given us notice of not being able to attend at least a week before the event.
