FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: Will SysAdminDays be presented in other locations?
A: Yes! Phoenix SysAdminDays is our first training event, but we will
   hold additional training events in other locations in the future. If
   your local group or LOPSA chapter is interested in hosting
   SysAdminDays in your area, please contact us (board at lopsa.org) 

Q: Is Phoenix SysAdminDays competing with the LISA conference?
A: No. Phoenix SysAdminDays is a two-day practical training program for
   junior and intermediate System Administrators (although more senior
   sysadmins may find the program worthwhile as well). There are no
   refereed papers. 

Q: Should I recommend Phoenix SysAdminDays to my staff and colleagues
   who have not been to professional events before?
A: Yes! The classes are designed to be challenging, but aimed at junior
   and mid-level system administrators with a wide variety of
   backgrounds and experience. The focus is on practical skills and
   approaches to important topics.
