Hey, just curious if anyone is going to attend the regional workshops this year.

23 locations across the US & Canada: Synology Workshops 2020

Seen that yesterday. I was really hoping that there will be some in EU (closer to me), but no luck. Too far for me tbh.

I will likely be at the San Jose one.

That's definitely understandable. It looks like there were some workshops in EU last year. But I haven't seen anything for 2020 in EU. Were any of those last year at a more convenient location?

Some of them but then again my child was 1h old and we were working on the house and planing the move so it was just not the right time.

Never been to one, but I’m surprised by the duration. Short (9:00-12:30)! I wonder how useful it’ll be.

The content is generally based around some best practices, technical demonstrations, information on new products/features, and ways to connect with Synology. So I guess it depends on what you're looking for.

There's also generally time on either end to connect with the Syno team as well as MSPs/Integrators during and after lunch which is great for sharing ideas and learning about the ways in which others manage/implement Synology.

Thanks. If you go, please ask them when will they bring the DS918+ replacement :p

Historically these workshops will also come to EU. At least that happend the past three/four years.
It is an absolute go for getting to know the Syno people and other Syno based business.
On the content, they can not cover 100% and have to make choices. One year it fits and the next some less. That is ok.

Much as I'd like to move from the 2-bay DS218+ to the similar 4-bay (or better) and so bring the eSata Video Station library internal ... I'm happy to defer the purchase request with the CFO-who-must-be-obeyed.

You’re a good man @fredbert. Patience is a virtue.

My CFO-who-must-be-obeyed thinks we already have way too much devices. But that didn’t stop me (the CEO-who-struggles-to-win-an-argument) from getting more

Buy first; Confess second!

I used to find it best to confess over the phone at lunch time had the better results [for me] and a half day cooling off period before getting home

Unfortunately I prefer to work from home so the repercussions are more immediate nowadays.

Looks like the workshops on site are droped and will be converted to online webcasts. At least something good out of all this Corona mess.

So if you haven't registered...

Maybe they'll add a Webex/Zoom-like Synology Meetings to Office, Chat v2?

They currently have a Chat integration with JumpChat

Syno is pretty big on free platforms/integrations where possible. Chat/Drive/Office are generally cost-effective alternatives to paid business/enterprise collaboration/communcation services.
