Skip The ISC Floor For Certification Training?

Bad idea. Unless things have changed over the years, classes at ISC are like the commercials shown in movie theaters - a double-dip on your wallet. I gave up attending classes years ago after discovering that the vast majority were nothing more than thinly disguised promotions.

I'm attending ISC West for the first time this year. I sure hope this is not a waste of time... i sure hope this is not another commercial... Ugg... I guess i will take my fly rod and waders just in case....

Several years ago Aimetis began hosting its 2 day Certified Partner Training the 2 days prior to ISC. This works well since many are heading to Vegas for the ISC West show. Most airports have direct flights to Vegas and its an easy venue to host training. Since the training is held away from the Sands before the show starts, we have virtually no distractions. Most attendees get more out of the training since they are not rushed to leave & head home at the end of the day. Rather they tend to stick around to discuss solutions and best practices.

We still exhibit though, our current customers expect us to be there.
