Do you think you know more than your friends?
Do you try to impress your spouse with your trivial technical knowledge?
Do you think, "If only they asked Citrix questions on Jeopardy, I'd rock!"?
If so, then you need to play...
Tuesday, April 24, 2007, BriForum 2007, A game show like no other
That's right! BriForum 2007 will be the debut of The BriForum Geek Out, a game show designed to find the biggest geek in the audience! We are going to take three contestants from the audience of BriForum, bring them on stage, and ask them technical questions about Citrix, Terminal Server, and other application delivery products.
- First place: $599 cash, plus an all-expenses paid trip to BriForum 2008 to defend your title
- Second place: $250 cash
- Third place: $100 cash
We will pass out a one-page "quiz" on the first day of BriForum. You'll have all day to answer as many questions as you can. We'll grade the quizzes on Monday night, and the people with the three best scores will get to be contestants on the show. In the event of a tie, we'll draw names randomly. The contestants will not know who they are before the show starts, so if they're not in the audience, then we'll pick the next-best scores.
We're excited that three companies, Login Consultants, TS Factory, and visionapp will be sponsoring the game show.
We'll video record the show and make that video available for download.
All of the 30+ presenters will get together to come up with the questions. The questions will all be technical, objective, and have short answers. (Good example: What port does session reliability use? Bad example: Which third party printing product is best?)
