Greetings. In case you were wondering, “ICYMI” is short for “in case you missed it.” And this is a weekly digest of recent news, events, and content in and around Ivanti and Ivanti.com. We hope you find it both interesting and useful. Let us know via email to [email protected] – and thanks!
The Big News: Interchange Moves to Dallas!
After more than 10 years in Las Vegas, Ivanti Interchange 2018 will take place in Dallas, Texas.
Especially with the addition of Concorde Solutions and RES Software to the Ivanti team, this will be the biggest Interchange ever. So it only makes sense to take it where everything’s bigger. Read the other 10 reasons why Interchange is moving to Texas in McKay Allen’s great blog post. Then, save the dates – May 14 through 17, 2018 – and visit the Interchange 18 web page to share your best reason for moving to the Lone Star State.
