BREAKING: Citrix iForum to Change Name to "iForum 07, the App Delivery Expo, presented by Citrix"

There's a mouthful. Maybe Citrix read my blog post comparing Presentation Server to the new Terminal Services in Server 2008 and realized an expansion in focus is necessary...

Brian Madden's web site also reports...

...that they're raising the price while distancing themselves from it. Very interesting thoughts. He opines:

It's unclear to me exactly what this means. Does iForum cover Citrix's products and technologies, or is it about the industry-at-large? If you make your living as a Citrix Presentation Server admin, would you go to this event? (Try to find the phrases "server-based computing" or "Presentation Server" on that site.)


What's really strange to me is the way that Citrix seems to be distancing themselves from the expo. Reading through the site, I get the impression Citrix is trying to market this as an independent application delivery event, rather than a Citrix marketing event. Even the way the name is--it’s the "App Delivery Expo," and then in a smaller font off to the side, "presented by Citrix." Almost like the "Family movie night, presented by Ford."
