Countdown to EMC World - 3 days to go!

We're getting closer and closer to EMC World, so I thought I'd point out some new things in the community designed to help you participate.

Discuss EMC World Content before EMC World

• The Managing Storage - Trends, Challenges, and Options 2010-2011 study will be released at EMC World, but Alok Shrivistava is releasing some of the details early in the Industry Readiness community. The first tidbit he has pre-released is about how the economy is impacting storage teams. Discuss that here.
• Charlie Brooks is giving a BOF on Wednesday at 8 AM about Securing Storage in the face of v12 and The Cloud, and he's looking to talk about that before EMC World. Find that discussion here.

New events at EMC World in Boston

• The EMC World team has set up a way to play FourSquare for charity. Details here.
• We will be beta testing a new expert exam at EMC World. If you are interested in doing that, please visit the Proven Professional ONLY community. (Remember to access that community you must hold a current certification, if you have problems accessing that community please see this document).
• Check out the sign up sheet for EMC World for new information about #storagebeers. Thanks Bas!!

World Wide Proven Day

• All of the information you need to know about participating in World Wide Proven Day can be found in this document.
• You don't have to wait till Monday to change your avatar - go ahead and change it now!
• Even if you are in Boston, go ahead and change your avatar. Let's show our support for the Proven Professionals who could not make it to Boston this year.

If you look on the right hand side of the community, you'll see all the EMC World documents.

My next update will probably be from EMC World in Boston - hopefully we'll see you there!
