Workshops for technologists.
Educational. Enlightening. Essential.

To encourage focused immersion in relevant Catalyst Conference topics, in-depth ½ day and full day workshops delve into new technologies, solutions or simply brush up in certain technology areas. Each workshop is hosted by a Burton Group analyst or consultant and offers real-world insight on leading technology issues facing organisations today.

(for enterprise-class end-users only)

Free Consultations with Burton Group Analysts or Consultants
Each year Catalyst Conference attendees have the opportunity to sign up for a 30-minute complimentary consultation (a €350 value) with a Burton Group analyst or consultant. Catalyst Conference is the only time each year that all Burton Group experts are gathered under one roof. Take advantage of this rare onsite knowledge powerhouse to ask questions and get the valuable information you need. Regardless of your question, Burton Group will do what it takes to address your specific issue. Your free, private session gives you the opportunity to confidentially address the topic of your choice. Discuss problems with current products, plans for future products/architectures, reports by Burton Group experts (and speak with their authors), IT strategy, interoperability issues, or any other topic. Or ask questions about Reference Architecture or any other resource offered by Burton Group.

Approximately three weeks prior to the conference, registered Catalyst Conference attendees will receive a registration form (via e-mail) for a complimentary consultation session on-site at Catalyst Conference.
