AppManagEvent is an independent annual event to give IT Professionals and IT Decision Makers a status&future update on the leading technology, tools, strategies, insights and trends around Application Management.

The event was organized for the first time in 2006 as "PackagingEvent" to provide a neutral generic platform for topics around application packaging (Wise, InstallShield, Altiris, MSI, ChangeBase: remember ..?). As topics grew throughout the years beyond application packaging it was announced at the end of the 2013 edition that the event would continue as "AppManagEvent". Which is where we are today.

The event lasts for 1 day and takes place in the city of Utrecht in the Netherlands.

AppManagEvent is an initiative from PDS b.v.
PDS (1987) is an independent value-added Benelux distributor of IT Pro software tools and specialized sysadmin/IT Pro trainingcourses.
Although we welcome "our" vendors at the event so you can meet their visions, this event is for IT Professionals looking for a broader view on the Application Management industry. Please click here to learn more about our company.

There are many Azure and Office 365 related conferences but the topics for Application Management are often included as a single track or only a part of another track, but they never seem to be the primary focus. While your endusers are mostly interested in their (working) applications...?!

There are only a handfull premium events in Europe dedicated exclusively to Application and Workplace Management in any manner. AppManagEvent is among this selected group

We will have world-class experts and speakers, both from Microsoft Corporate and from the community (Microsoft MVPs), focusing not only on the newest features of Microsoft technologies and general cloud topics, but also on the business and legal aspects of working with device management technologies.
