Making a buzz about HP Technology@Work 2011 in Madrid
Apr 30th
Not very long ago HP held one of its Technology@Work On Tour 2011 events in Amsterdam. As a matter of fact I come from Amsterdam and live within a distance of only 45 kilometers from Schiphol where the event was held. So why would I travel almost 1500km to Madrid to write a few blogs on this HP event?
It’s not because I was unable to attend in Amsterdam, but it’s because Ivy Worldwide contacted me. Considering me an influential blogger, both HP & Ivy Worldwide invited me to go to Madrid to investigate the new cloud related technology offered by HP. In short Ivy Worldwide is a five-year-old social media marketing firm employing the innovative strengths of social media to help making a buzz for their clients.
So my job is to make a lot of noise about what HP’s CloudSystem proposition has to offer for customers and in our case for the Microsoft Hyper-V and System Center community. Because, let’s face it: that’s what Hyper-V.nu stands for.
You can expect me to tweet and blog in the course of the coming week. The event will be on 4-5 May, 2011 but you’ll hear from me using #HPTAW hashtag starting today. Also subscribe to http://hyper-v.nu RSS feed, @hvredevoort and @hypervnu if you want to be updated in the fastest and most direct way.
