It’s disclosure post time! This post is all about the corporate largesse received during Dell World 2015. It’s pretty light on swag, since I really didn’t get any, and my bag on the way home was mercifully light. Travel and Accommodation I attended DellWorld 15 as a guest of Dell,… Read More
The DellWorld’15 Solutions Exchange was a fascinating departure from the kinds of show floors I’m used to at recent trade shows.

Unfortunately I only captured ambient audio for my notes and didn’t have a lapel mic or second mic source to capture my questions, so you get title blocks instead. My A/V editing… Read More
It’s been a bit over a week since Dell Enterprise Forum Australia, and I’ve now had some time to process everything I learned. In short, Dell needs to reset and start again. No One Hates Dell Halfway through the event I realised something: no one really hates Dell. I know… Read More
