Beginning this year, Caldera is hosting several GeoFORUM conferences in multiple geographies around the globe to better meet the worldwide demand for Caldera solutions. Known in the past as Forum, the name of the conference has been changed to GeoFORUM to better reflect its new worldwide nature.
“This year’s GeoFORUMs are reaching more resellers and partners than ever before, with registration and attendance far surpassing that of previous years,” said Darl McBride, president and CEO of Caldera. “The past year has featured some amazing advances in the IT world, particularly in respect to Linux. From the announcement of UnitedLinux, to the increase in corporate adoption and extensive industry support, Caldera has been on the forefront. GeoFORUM attendees will learn from Caldera and its partners, such as HP and IBM, how to implement these innovations to increase business and reduce overall costs.”
Underlining its theme of “Powerful Choices,” GeoFORUM 2002 will focus on Linux and UNIX based solutions in a changing IT world. Conference keynotes and sessions will explain how Caldera and its partners offer powerful choices that help companies decrease internal costs while increasing the speed and quality with which they do business. Sessions will also discuss the upcoming advances in Caldera’s operating system products, and how Caldera’s new Volution line of products, services, and programs will help businesses succeed. In addition, exhibitors and business partners such as Bakbone, Borland, Computer Associates, HP, IBM, Intel, Microlite, Progress and others, will present at GeoFORUM and unveil plans, partnerships and products that will affect the international IT industry.
