Hi there -- I'd like to know if there are members coming to NetApp Insight in Oct -- Registration LINK --- I'm hoping there are enough to schedule a meet & greet of NetApp Community members.

Excellent Scott -- what topics?  do you have a schedule yet?

Transition track. No schedule yet.

I will definitely have to check your classes out in Vegas!

i'd like to. However the cost is primarily for the C level people   Our account manager is looking into it to see if he can do anything for us.

Hi vims,

I get it -- hope you can make it!  It's the first time customers will attend Insight so the content will be pretty comprehensive. Give a shout if you end up going,

Hi all,

Things are shaping up for Insight!  

The Community Team will be there (Terri, Allison, Alissa) as part of the Insight Media Hub!  Come see us at booth #190 -- you can't miss it.  Lots of activity planned -- I'll be posting frequent updates and activity schedules. 

But just to give you a sense....the 'hub' includes

• NetApp Community - We'll be there giving out cool NetApp gear, doing Community demos and shamelessly promoting the Community;)  We'll also tell you where the various free receptions are happening
• News Desk - Scheduled interviews with small seating area for viewing.  Guests include NetApp execs, Technical SMEs, Customers & Partners
• Media Lounge (Social Media) - A Photo Booth, tweet Ups--> Tue 4-5pm & Wed 4-5pm
• Social Media Rally station - 1:1 Consulting Stop for Partners to setup/optimize their social media profiles, learn how to engage with customers online and partner resources with social-ready content - it's also open to NetApp employees and customers

More to come....

Best,

Terri

I'll be in Berlin

[peluso]

Hi Dominic!

That's great to hear more members are participating.  While I'm not going to Berlin , I'll look forward to hearing how it goes.

[shane_bradley]

I will be going hopefully. Just need to see if i can find funding somewhere.

[NetApp_SEAL]

I will definitely be there. Third year in a row and hoping for my best Insight thus far!

Terri -

I'd love to go, but it doesn't look like it's in the plan this year.

Last year I enjoyed giving my presentation on 'Cluster Mode Performance Management with OnCommand Unified Manager' in Vegas.

Wish we were still doing Insight in Macau.

It would be an easy commute for me from here in Hong Kong !

Miss you ...

I hope this response has been helpful to you.
