10:00	10:35	How to become a sexy or attractive employer.	Frank van Massenhove, Chairman at Ministry of Social Affairs	The new modern working environment: Is this only about new technology? Is it just introducing homework and abolish the time clock? Or is it about introducing a new management style? According to Frank Van Massenhove, who has succeeded in introducing this concept, it is something else …
10:35	11:10	The mobile mindset: How mobile is changing the game, and why you should invest in it.	Dado Van Peteghem, Managing Partner InSites Consulting	In his presentation, Dado describes how you can manage word-of-mouth.

11:10	11:50	The new collaboration experience.	Enrico Deluchi, Senior Director, Collaboration Sales, Cisco Europe	The Collaboration world is Mobile, Visual, Social and Virtual. Enrico will look at the business and technology trends that are defining the Cisco Collaboration strat¬egy, along with credible examples that demonstrate a Cisco archi¬tectural solution.
11:50	12:05	Compute continuum	Henk van den Eeckhout, Director Intel	Currently, the IT industry has again reached an inflection point. In the coming years, the number of connected devices and compute enabled devices will increase with more than 100%; in the year 2011 more digital content will be created than over the past 15 together. These trends force us to deal differently with IT. At the Intel keynote we will be looking at how the Intel vision and solutions enable this continuum.

		Borderless Networks
09:45	11:15	Deep Dive – Securing the Borderless Network with Cisco's SecureX Architecture		If there is one major challenge in a Borderless Organization, then for sure it is security! When faced with an increasing number of devices connecting to the network (laptops, Blackberry's, iPhones, iPADs, Android tablets, …) – some IT-controlled and some linked to a "Bring Your Own Device"-approach – security is a key fundamental element that needs to be inherent into the Borderless Environment. How can you guarantee that your security policies are having impact, that you know and control what is happening on your network and that you can protect data integrity when your users can be anywhere, using any device and go to applications in the datacenter or in the cloud. So a major paradigm shift is required, moving from a "Keep the bad guys out"-approach which becomes impossible when borders have gone, to a new "Enable the Borderless Experience"-approach. This session will explain how Cisco TrustSec can enable you to take full control of who accesses your network with whatever device, using an 802.1x based network approach and a unified access policy approach. Furthermore, the session will explain how Context Aware security can increase the security level of your network. Last, but certainly not least, the session will explain how AnyConnect allows this security approach to extend to the mobile workforce, enabling users with AnyDevice to access the network in an automated and secure way. It will also explain how Anyconnect integrates industry-leading Ironport and Scansafe solutions, and will drive security to the cloud.
13:30	14:00	Belgacom helps us to shape our future	Philippe Romboux : Technical Director Vlan Group and Belgacom Relationship Responsible Pascal Van der Biest: CIO Belgium Rossel Interactive Media & Sud Presse	"The progress of the mobile technology and the evolution to permanent internet connections has a big impact on our business." explains Philippe Romboux, technical director of the publishing company Rossel. "To provide our readers more information in real-time and to give our employees access to better business applications in order to optimise their response time, we needed technical improvements." Together with Cisco, Belgacom supports the needs of the publisher for already ten years. Belgacom implemented Explore, IP-telephony, managed LAN, mobile & fixed voice and UCS/FlexPod. Belgacom could convince Rossel with an architectural approach that is innovative, performing and flexible at the same time. Thanks to the quality of service and a single point of contact, Rossel can take up the challenges of the future: use new devices to provide his readers a larger volume of information, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
14:00	14:45	Deliver Borderless Access to enable the new Workplace		Our workplace is drastically changing. Users are increasingly mobile, and are continuously changing from a wired to a wireless environment and vice versa, working in an office building or working from home, or connecting on the road or from a guest network. For the user it is simple: he wants to connect from anywhere in a simple way. To enable this mobility, companies need to deliver an integrated, seamless and transparent working environment to their end user. This session will explain how Cisco can help you achieve this Borderless Access by delivering a transparent wired-wireless environment in a secure and energy-aware (EnergyWise) manner. This Borderless Access environment can drive data applications, voice, video and location awareness seamless – wired or wireless. Discover how the Borderless Access can fully unleash the potential of your workforce – wherever they are – and enable a new flexible workplace-approach.
14:50	15:35	Automate, Simplify and Manage your Borderless Network		When deploying a Borderless Networks, and activating the new Network Services such as Borderless wired-wireless Access, TrustSec, Energywise, … a strong Network Management environment is needed. This management platform needs to enable you to simplify the roll-out of the full potential of the Borderless Networks, and manage devices as well as full Network Services and Unified Access views. This session will deliver a view on the new Network Management platforms that Cisco is launching to make the Borderless Networks environment with fully operational Network Services easily manageable.
15:35	16:25	Deliver a Consistent Rich-Media User Experience, Anywhere using Medianet and Application Velocity		The Collaboration break-out sessions will cover in detail how unified collaboration and especially video will transform our way of working. The Datacenter break-out sessions will cover the impact of virtualization and cloud on the IT environment. The Borderless Networks will enable your user to maintain a high quality experience on video, voice and data applications – wherever he might be and on whatever device. The Borderless Networks will deliver this through the Medianet and Application Velocity Network Service. This session will explain how a Medianet and Application Velocity enabled network can help you unleash the full video and virtualization potential in your organization.
