That's a significant run over. How will the breakouts work now?

This is so specialized too. What are they going to break out into?
Basically telling customers how they can spend more money on add-on vendors.
Sounds like another conference I've been to.

Everything is pushed back an hour.

I think I can afford to skip a few meals.

What do I eat?

Literally abandoned warehouse

Wow, that's crazy empty.

Dang. That's worse than the worst SpiceWorld.

I'm starting to compare it to SW London. Never went to the one in London, but I heard it was pretty bad in 2016.

I was there in 2014 (I think?) at the roman wine storage place. That wasn't bad except for the pathing. The place was a maze.

SW London was a tiny venue, though, and super classy. No comparison. Small, yes, but not sparse.

2015 was at a brewery and an excellent venue. Easy to get to, easy to use, really nice space overall.

Every breakout session I've been to has been a sales pitch on why you should buy my product with no technical depth whatsoever.

Sounds familiar.

I think we've been to the same conference.

Pure FlashStack is their foot into the hyperconvergence door.

Not even kind of. It's a clear step in the opposite direction. It's as far from HC as you can reasonably get.

FlashStack, from the info on Cisco's site, is nothing but a really low quality totally traditional "never do this" IPOD. Nothing is converged, nothing is hyper, nothing is special. It's just vendors you'd never want to use, with blades you'd never want to use, in the most generic IPOD you can imagine.
