Join us in San Diego, CA, November 9–14, 2008, for the most in-depth, practical system administration training available. The Large Installation System Administration Conference (LISA) has been the premier system administration conference for over 20 years. It offers an unparalled opportunity to meet and mingle with the leaders of the system administration industry. The goal of this conference is to provide attendees with the practical information they need to succeed in their jobs. Information is arranged in a "learn it today—use it tomorrow" format. The theme for LISA '08 is "Real World System Administration." The 6-day event offers training by industry leaders; invited talks; the latest research through refereed papers, Work-in-Progress Reports (WiPs), posters, and workshops; answers to your toughest questions; and that all-important face-to-face time with experts in the community.
