Back in the day there was the "EMC Technical Symposium" which was geared to the technologist. You could get hands on with the products get training and make contacts on the tech side. At some point around 2005, it became EMC World, which was that taken over by the Marketing Droids. Nothing useful ever came and I stopped attending.
If you want the real story talk to the tech folks, you want B**L S**t talk to the marketing and sales droids.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
