| 7:00 AM | 10:00 AM | 16:00 | Ruben Spruijt & Benny Tritsch | Opening Keynote | Benny and Ruben will kick off this year’s event with a rundown of the most important driving factors in delivering a good remote user experience today. They’ll also share some results of the latest VDI Like a Pro survey. |
| 7:20 AM | 10:20 AM | 16:20 | Ruben Spruijt | How Azure, AWS and GCP impact VDI & DaaS – storage performance and GPU options explained | What does it really mean from a performance perspective to host traditional Windows applications and desktops in the cloud? You will learn why and how Azure, AWS and GCP deliver different storage performance and GPU options for VDI and DaaS. This unique information is key for solution design, sizing and managing VDI/DaaS performance expectations. |
| 7:40 AM | 10:40 AM | 16:40 | Benny Tritsch & Rody Kossen | Why GPUs matter in EUC environments | In this geeky session Benny and Rody will show real-world examples of what the benefits of GPUs are in remoting environments. |

| 8:10 AM | 11:10 AM | 17:10 | Bram Wolfs | Connection Experience Indicator for RDS & WVD | In this session Bram will show you what the Connection Experience Indicator is and how you can configure and use it. |
| 8:30 AM | 11:30 AM | 17:30 | Ryan Ververs-Bijkerk | The real race against round trip time on an NVIDIA powered machine in Azure | This will be the race of the year on the legendary Dutch race track, Zandvoort. The race is against our worst enemy, round trip time. This session will show and explain the negative effect of round trip time when delivering remote graphics intense applications from the public cloud. |
| 8:50 AM | 11:50 AM | 17:50 | Rody Kossen & Patrick van den Born | Remote graphic workloads and clients (2020 edition) | As we add advanced GPUs to our virtual desktop environments, delivering the best user experience requires tweaking of remote display protocol settings like quality, compression, chroma subsampling, not to mention vendor-specific settings. But what about the different clients? In this intermediate-level session Rody Kossen and Patrick van den Born will show you the difference in user experience between clients and workloads. You’ll learn:
For the 2020 edition we’ve updated the session with the latest Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, VMware Horizon and Xi Frame protocols. You can also expect details about Windows Virtual Desktop and clients. Playlist |
