Preview of my Citrix Synergy agenda, my session highlights & iCAL downloads
If you’ve seen my Ultimate Synergy guide, or Synergy on a budget posts, you’ll know I’m a Citrix Synergy regular (and iForum before it became Synergy) so I though I’d share my planned agenda with you in advance. I’ll probably refer back to this myself to ensure I’m not missing a key session that I had planned to attend!
Synergy agenda iCAL downloads
I find the agenda functionality on the Synergy website is rather lacking (being polite!) as there is no way of dynamically synchronising your entire agenda to your own device or agenda that always pulls in your latest session choices. As such, I always produce a consolidated iCAL download of all the Synergy sessions I plan to attend. Last year I took this one step further and included ALL the available sessions in the agenda – and I’m doing it again this year and sharing them with you!
The above is how they import into your calendar.
I’ve split the downloads into the tracks they are labelled with. Note some sessions appear in more than one iCAL as they have multiple tags. If you want the entire Synergy agenda, just download all of them. Please do still register for the sessions you plan on attending via the Synergy website or mobile app as the conference organisers use those registrations for room planning and sizing purposes. Also note my downloads are static and will not reflect last minute changes that get posted on the official website and mobile app.
