GestaltIT.com Announces Aquisition of Infosmack Productions and New Annual Conference

PostDateIcon April 1st, 2010 | PostAuthorIcon Author: Rich Brambley

GestaltIT LLC Acquires Infosmack and Virtumania Podcasts

This evening during a press conference at the Holiday Inn Select Cleveland-Cty Ctr in Cleveland, OH,  Stephen Foskett of GestaltIT.com made some exciting announcements I’d like to pass along.

Foskett first introduced that starting in 2011 the first ever GestaltIT Tech Spring Break Conference will be held in Panama City, FL at the world famous Holiday Inn Resort. Although Specific Conference dates are not yet available, Foskett suggested watching both GestaltIT.com and the Holiday Inn Resort’s web page for future notices about conference sponsors, vendors and attendee registration information.

Foskett also announced the acquisition of the Infosmack Productions family of podcasts by GestaltIT LLC. Infosmack and Virtumania are independent podcasts addressing the news and technologies of IT decision makers and administrators on the topics of storage, networking, and server and desktop virtualization. Foskett explained that both the Infosmack and Virtumania podcast will be features of future GestaltIT Tech Day Events as well as the Tech Spring Break Conference.

GestaltIT LLC will now partner with Greg Knieriemen, Marc Farley, and me to deliver Tech Field Day and Tech Spring Break audio and video content along with other GestaltIT.com storage and virtualization-related site content. Marc and I will both maintain our current blogs. Farley’s blog is storagerap.com and, of course my blog is vmetc.com.

“We are excited to add these Infosmack guys permanently to the GestaltIT event lineup.  They crack us up each week with their antics, and their podcast content ain’t too bad either” said Foskett.  When asked about Infosmack being acquired Marc Farley commented “Hey Now”. Virtumania regular Rick Vanover added during the press conference “I can’t wait for the Tech Spring Break Conference Party at Club La Vela.” Sean Clark wondered “why not have the Conference in Iowa?”

What are my thoughts about permanently joining the GestaltIT event family as a podcaster and blogger? “Here Goes Nothing!”

GestaltIT has a started a new web page for the Tech Spring Break Conference. Check here for more info both now and in the future.

    Congratulations on this endeavor. Rich you have a face for podcasting – it's good to see that talent put to good use. :)

    Thanks Jason. I'll be sure to get you a blogger pass to Tech Spring Break 2011!

    I will likely stop listening to Virtumania now that GestaltIT owns it. That, and they don't say “nipple” anymore. Going down hill if you ask me.

    I still for the life of me don't know why you wouldn't want to locate a Spring Break conference in Iowa. I mean, come on! We can usually go sledding on some of our bigger hills during spring break, and/or go help fill sand bags by our local river banks. And did I mention, that you can fly SouthWest to Omaha, Nebraska and then drive 3 hours to Des Moines? There are conveniences and attractions galore.

    Iowa – Where we could probably make silicon out of corn, it weren't addicted to moonshine…..er…..I mean ethanol.

    Will you also be acquiring the Girls Gone Wild Tech Conference company of Fort Lauderdale, FL?

    Rich,
    I take my last comment back. Everything, except the moonshine comment.

    Keep up the good work. ;)

    I believe @foskett is working a “sister” attendee annual pass registration with that conference as well as Tech Biker Week in Daytona.

    Wonder if Jesse James would make a custom chopper out of a VMax & Netapp systems powered by fast & pam, w/vsphere intake, vdi gas tank, esxi exhaust topped off with some hp storageworks saddle bags.

    Luigi,

    Jesse James likes to attend these events purely for the “social networking”.

    Yay, that's probably somewhere near me or closer than being another state.
