E2EVCE2EVC Virtualization Conference is an independent, non-commercial, virtualization community event build from experts to experts.

The 20th edition take place in November from the 1st (starting at 12.00) to Sunday 3rd (at 14:00) in Rome, Italy in the H10 Hotel Roma Città.

I was very curios about it (I’ve tried to attend at the Vienna’s event, but I’ve not found the right time frame) and will be an opportunity to face also with expert in other area.

At this event there were 18 Microsoft MVP’s, 15 Citrix CTP’s and 5 VMware vExperts, for 19 different countries. Here some of the Twitter handler: @pcrampton, @joe_elway, @shawnbass, @ThomasMaurer, @Andrea_Mauro, @drtritsch, @WorkingHardInIT, @HelgeKlein, @JimMoyle, @neilspellings, @andyjmorgan, @KBaggerman, @CarlWebster, @bsonposh, @gilwood_cs, @E2EVC, @KristianNese, @_POPPELGAARD, @barryschiffer, @RemkoWeijnen, @IngmarVerheij, @WilcovanBragt, @david_obrien, @Microspecialist, @virtualfat, @LFoverskov, @virtuEs_IT, @stibakke, @granttiller, @Easi123, @ChrisJMarks, @arbeijer, @znackattack, @ShaunRitchie_UK, @Rob_Aarts, @StefanKoell, @EHouben, @crachfahl, @JeroenTielen, @plompr, @Gkunst, @drmiru, @espenbe, @marcdrinkwater, @DocsMortar, @AlBayliss, @wedelit, @pzykomAtle, @LoDani, @fborozan, @JeffWouters, @mrpickford, @smspasscode, @schose, @rvanderkruk, @TimmBrochhaus, @HansMinnee, @JZanten, @Sargola, @JaspervanWesten, @airdeca_nl, @danielBuonocore, @PeppelT, @TondeVreede, @pcortis, @ConorScolard, @CarstenDreyer, @arnaud_pain, @RoyTextor, @saschazimmer, @abstrask, @loopern, @PulseITch, @joarleithe, clarecoops9, @rfolmer, @wimoortgiesen  and more!

I was really surprised by the kind of event and the quality of the speeches (and the speakers). Good also the idea to close with a session on how become CTP and maybe next time could be the turn on how become a vExpert :-)

In the pro of this event I have to add the criteria on choosing the hotel (with reasonable price), the shuttle service (I’ve not used but it’s a really good idea), the week-end period of the event (that sounds better that doing during the working weekdays). In the cons list (if we have to found something) maybe the price (cheap, with good discount, free for who has lost its jobs, but maybe could be cheaper), the food (fine for a free event, but could be a little improved for an fee based event) and the lack of the OpenSource/OpenStack community (the VMware one was limited but present).

For some information about the event see the relative post.
