About BigFix Days
The BigFix Days virtual user conference is an opportunity for BigFix users to connect with the HCL BigFix team in a lively, interactive setting. We’re coming to you LIVE – from our home offices to yours – to share new features, platform configuration tips and techniques and BigFix best practices content with you!
Come for the whole afternoon, or just the session that interests you. Either way, we’ll be glad to have you join, and we promise you’ll get something out of your visit. Join us to collaborate, share information and ideas, make new contacts, and learn something new.
The playlist of the individual sessions from the event are now available for playback.
