Infrastructure Simplified is all about infrastructure economics—the factor that can make or break an EUC strategy. When you break it down, a Citrix license is only a small part of the overall EUC budget; it’s infrastructure spend that determines whether a strategy scales sustainably. In this session, we’ll explore how customers are continually reassessing how they run environments, how they scale, and how they keep costs under control as usage evolves. You’ll see how the Citrix platform provides leverage here—and why that principle has shaped investment priorities. We’ll highlight tools like CEP and Secure Developer Solution, positioned to deliver common use cases with lower infrastructure spend than traditional VDI. We’ll connect it all to today’s cost volatility (“RAMageddon”) and the outcomes admins need: predictable costs, stability, performance.

Government and public sector IT teams face growing pressure to modernize service delivery and support a mobile workforce—without sacrificing security, compliance, or control. In this 90‑minute, discussion‑based breakout, we’ll explore how secure, policy‑driven access to applications and data enables mobility while maintaining strong governance, auditing, and data protection. The session will address public sector–specific modernization challenges, including sovereignty requirements, segmentation, resilience, and preserving agency ownership of critical decision boundaries. We’ll also examine responsible AI adoption in regulated environments, focusing on secure access to AI‑enabled applications, protection of sensitive data, and controls that enable innovation without increasing risk.

As Financial Services and Insurance (FSI) organizations adapt to new regulatory frameworks like DORA, modernize legacy platforms, and embrace cloud and AI, resilience and security have never been more critical. This session examines how Citrix supports FSI organizations through every stage of their transformation journey. See how European banks and insurers are using Citrix solutions to address top FSI use cases—including cloud adoption, Horizon migrations, secure application delivery, and infrastructure modernization—while maintaining strict compliance and operational resilience. We’ll also cover how Citrix helps organizations meet sovereignty requirements, strengthen cyber and AI security, and ensure uninterrupted business operations. Hear insights from customer success stories and industry experts as they share lessons learned, innovation highlights, and practical guidance for building a future‑ready FSI digital workspace.
