Citrix Announces Major Addition to Synergy Conference Line-Up

Network World Live! Joins Industry’s Premier Mega-Conference

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CTXS), the global leader in application delivery, today announced a major addition to the Synergy conference line-up, further expanding the conference’s relevance and appeal to the broad IT industry. Conference organizers said Synergy will house Network World Live! The Application Delivery Blueprint Conference. Network World Live! brings together thought leaders in the application delivery space to educate attendees on what virtualization and networking technology can do to ensure their organizations are able to manage a secure, dynamic infrastructure to deliver applications in the most effective, cost-efficient manner possible.

Conference attendees will learn the key elements of a sound application delivery architecture, the ROI it can deliver and how best to implement the technology in their own environments. Attendees will hear from speakers representing the full range of perspectives on application delivery technology: the vendors who sell the products, customers who have experienced the benefits of the technology and analysts who study the space day in and day out. No other industry event is so squarely focused on the concept of application delivery and arming attendees with the information and knowledge they need to take their own networks to the next level.

For more than 20 years, Network World has been the premier provider of information, intelligence and insight for Network and IT Executives. With an editorial focus on delivering news, opinion and analytical tools for key decision makers who architect, deploy and manage business solutions, Network World is the Leader in Network Knowledge, providing a powerful combination of events, online and print resources. Network World is the event organizer of DEMO and DEMOfall, the leading events for new technology innovation, as well as the IT Roadmap Conference & Expo series.

Born as a user conference more than 10 years ago, Citrix Synergy™ has been completely reconceived as the industry’s premier thought leadership event where virtualization, networking and application delivery meet. Citrix Synergy is a mega-conference, combining several events with one registration, including iForum – a traditional user conference revealing the latest on Citrix products and solutions; Network World Live! End to End Application Delivery – an in-depth industry perspective on the complete application delivery value chain; and Geek Speak Live! – the return of the highly successful ultimate un-conference where tech geeks, analysts and bloggers pick the topics and facilitate the sessions. Citrix Synergy will be at the MGM Grand Resort and Casino in Las Vegas from May 3 to May 7, 2009. More information is available on the Citrix Synergy Website: http://www.citrixsynergy.com.
