The Triaster Conference 2010

Conference Agenda


The whole 2010 conference agenda is devoted to the topic of helping you gain more advantage from the Triaster solution.

The conference sessions are classified under 3 broad headings.



A set of sessions targeted at organisations that are in the Period of Investment.



A set of sessions targeted at organisations that are beginning to see business benefits emerging.



A set of sessions targeted at organisations that are reaping benefits from the Triaster solution and now want to accelerate, extend and scale those benefits.

Continuing the theme of all previous Triaster conferences, there are 3 tracks of activity; the Main Conference track for keynotes, the 'Time to Benefit' track and the Triaster Community track. There are 15 sessions in total to choose from, with at least 3 sessions devoted to each of the 3 phases of the Time to Benefit curve. Four specific sessions are dedicated to existing Triaster customers to explain their experiences with the Triaster solution.

Additionally, there is a drop-in area running at various times throughout the conference containing voting booths for the Triaster Award, and a fully working load-balanced three server cluster with technical staff on-hand to talk you through it.

There is something for everyone at the 2010 conference!

No matter where you are on the benefit curve, this conference will move you several steps further along in the right direction.
