Hi Folks,

Today a dream for many of us came true. The words VeeamON and Toronto were present in the same sentence.

Don't get me wrong VeeamON for me has been synonymous with discovering new fascinating cities and many adventures.  However, it always felt like something was missing. That all changed today!

 

Today VeeamON Tours landed right next to the CN Tower.

CN Tower

 

My first target as usual was to check out the swag situation. In short, tasty and original, but Veeam sent out a guard just in case as the event had not yet started 😁

 

In the past ​@Rick Vanover would provide us with “Convince your boss to let you to go to VeeamON letters”  but the Veeam positive propaganda department had that covered this time so the boss had not worries.

Working Hard

 

Later I met up with old Community friends! ​@safiya 

 

The room was packed and baseball fever was in the air since the home town Blue Jays will be playing in the World Series tomorrow night.

We were also treated to the first official conference news about Veeam’s latest exciting acquisition

The highlight of the day for me was the Community session where ​@Rick Vanover ​@safiya ​@Chris.Childerhose ​@HangTen416 and little old me took the stage to talk the talk about the fantastic community walk!

 

A day without Kasten is like a day without sunshine and Veeam made sure everything was bright and sunny in that regard.

The event ended with a great happy hour and as I walked out to the train station, I turned around one more time to see the CN Tower glowing green. A coincidence? I think not! The leaves may have turned yellow but the atmosphere here today was Veeam Green!

It was a fantastic event and experience for sure.  Definitely great to discuss all things community.  Thanks again ​@Rick Vanover and ​@safiya for asking us it was a pleasure.

It was great to see everyone at VeeamON Toronto! The Canadian Leaders and Veeam Community Hub Panels were also really great to watch.
