The world's premier leaders and innovators in EUC including Microsoft, HP, LG, Lenovo, Citrix, and VMware will convene for 2.5 days of inspiring thought leadership and in-depth technical bootcamp sessions at the only global event focused on end user computing.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- IGEL, provider of the managed endpoint operating system for secure access to any digital workspace, today announced the agenda and sponsors for the 2023 DISRUPT End User Computing (EUC) Forums taking place in Munich, February 14-16, 2023 and Nashville, Tennessee, April 3-5, 2023. DISRUPT is the only global event focused on end user computing and the delivery of secure, high-performance digital workspaces to increasingly distributed hybrid workforces, from the cloud.

"I am thrilled to welcome the global EUC community to DISRUPT23," said Jed Ayres, CEO, IGEL. "This year, we expect to bring together 35+ technology and channel partners and over 2,500 attendees, who will leave the event armed with new tactics and strategies to enable end-users to thrive in today's world of hybrid work – from anywhere. People will leave inspired, re-energized, and ready to go back to their organizations with actionable ways to use the technologies and solutions enabled by IGEL and our IGEL Ready partner ecosystem to optimize and secure the rapidly evolving modern work experience."

Say "YES" to a new, groundbreaking, multi-faceted EUC offering from IGEL

In November 2022, IGEL announced that it was ending production of IGEL-branded Universal Desktop (UD) endpoint devices and partnering with HP, Lenovo, LG, and others to deliver IGEL OS, enabling partners and customers to derive more value from their investments in Microsoft, Citrix, and VMware VDI, DaaS and SaaS solutions.

During DISRUPT23 in Munich, IGEL will unveil a brand-new endpoint focused platform offering that promises to usher in a vastly simpler, more secure, and more flexible way for IT organizations to enable end-users to easily access any form of cloud-delivered digital workspace – from anywhere. This comprehensive new set of technologies will include IGEL's next generation of its managed endpoint operating system, IGEL OS 12, Universal Management Suite (UMS) 12 and additional cloud services set to revolutionize endpoint security, ease of management, and end-user experience.

"With this revolutionary new offer, we are taking a major step forward in terms of changing the game for both IT teams and end-users accessing cloud-delivered digital workspaces," said Ayres. "For example, onboarding a new employee and their device will be as easy as unboxing the new device, inputting their email address, initial assigned password, and language selection, and they will be able to launch straight into their Microsoft, VMware, or Citrix workspace."

Say "YES" to market-leading insights on the modern workplace

In advance of DISRUPT23, IGEL has assembled an exciting line-up of EUC industry thought leaders and innovators who will offer insights and best practices on navigating the modern world of hybrid work. The event will also offer Technical Bootcamps presented by IGEL, Citrix, Microsoft, Nerdio, VMware, and Workspot featuring expert-led business and technical breakout sessions focused on delivering a rich Windows experience that's secure, manageable, and cost effective, across VDI, DaaS, and SaaS.
