Xigent, in partnership with VergeIO, recently hosted Tech Talks: Apps & Ale at Boom Island Brewing in Minnetonka, MN, bringing together IT and business leaders for an afternoon of great conversation, practical insights, and a relaxed networking environment.
Designed to bring people together, Xigent’s Apps & Ale event focused on a popular topic in the industry right now: how organizations are rethinking virtualization strategies as renewal cycles, licensing changes, and platform consolidation continue to reshape the market.
During the session, the group explored what’s driving this shift and how teams should be evaluating their next move. VergeIO joined the conversation as a leading technology partner, bringing firsthand perspective on how modern virtualization platforms are being built to address exactly these challenges. Conversations highlighted the importance of asking better questions, weighing modernization paths, and understanding how virtualization decisions impact performance and long-term IT planning.
The in-person event sparked quality conversations on how teams are addressing these changes. Attendees shared real-world experiences and compared approaches in a setting that made it easy to connect.
That’s exactly what Apps & Ale was built for. Creating space for honest discussions, valuable insights, and meaningful connections with peers who are working through the same challenges.
A big thank you to VergeIO for co-hosting and contributing to what made this event so valuable. We appreciate everyone who joined us and helped make it a great afternoon.
