A lead from our partner enablement team, some amazing folks from our technical pre-sales organization and the one-and-only Chris Kraus!

Let's begin with our lead enabler and former consultant...
Audrey Doucet - I'm a Partner Enablement Advisor for CA's Application Delivery product line and this is my first CA World. I'll be spending most of my time at the Smart Bar floating between Theaters 3 & 4 during the conference.
My Session Recommendation: Pre-Con Education: CA Service Virtualization 9.0—What's the Latest and Greatest Jumpstart your learning by attending this special advanced showing of the latest and greatest features in our new major release of CA SV.
Other Tips: "Proven Professional exams" are the first stage of Implementation enablement and puts you closer towards certification as an Expert. These exams are free of charge for partners, take care of this onsite at CA World '15. Exams will be hosted at Mandalay Bay Ballroom L. Space is limited, register today.
Regan Walker - I am the Director of Presales, Application Delivery for the Northeast. I am looking forward to assisting organizations at CA World achieve Continuous Delivery on their path to DevOps. During CA World I will be located in Demo Theater 4 showcasing the latest in Quality Acceleration capabilities of our DevTest platform.
My Session Recommendation: Pre-Con Education: Managing Complexity in Your Continuous Delivery Tool Chain-Get the Tips and Tricks You'll Need for Success.
Other Tips: Make sure to engage with our Meet the Experts staff as their combined experiences can help provide valuable insight for organizations own DevOps journey.
Cassiano Bein - I am a Senior Principal Consultant for our DevOps Presales team. I am really excited about CA World! It is the perfect time to get together with customers, partners and colleagues to share the newest topics in the IT industry. You can catch me at the Service Virtualization on Demand booth in Theater 3 talking about DevTest and a very exciting new offering!!!!
My Session Recommendation: The DevOps Simulation Experience. I've been delivering these sessions across North America and it is always so much fun. You really learn a lot about DevOps and how you can transform your teams, process and technology to adopt this best practice.
Other Tips: I'm a native Brazilian and am happy to chat with any of our customers or partners from Brazil. Don't forget to find me in the booth!
Chris Kraus – I’m one of the Product Managers in DevTest solutions and get to work on CA Continuous Application Insight daily. The best part of CA World is talking to customers and partners and hearing about the Cool Things(!) they are doing with virtualization and testing. During CA World 2015, I will be running around the CA Continuous Application Insight demo area and meeting with customers in the briefing center.
My Session Recommendation: I am exited to present pre conference sessions "It's the 2010's. Why are you Still Manually Writing Tests?" and then in Theater 4 "Technology Primer: Building Applications the New Fashioned Way" and "Vision and Roadmap and The CA Roadmap for Service Virtualization and the Dev and Test Portfolio".
Other Tips: We have some fun Tech Talks right near our booth this year including Building regression tests to increase velocity and prevent things from “Going BOOM” and Extreme Automation - Creating Headless tests “Automagically”. Don't miss them!
Scott Edwards - I’m the Director of Product Marketing for the CA DevTest portfolio, and what I’m looking forward to the most at CA World is seeing how our customers use our products. Case in point, I’m totally excited to see both Nordstrom (D03T21S) and T-Mobile (D04T17S) discuss their use of multiple application delivery products. These, and many others, will talk about how they rely on CA solutions to deliver exceptional application quality and drive their continuous delivery strategy. I’ll be hanging out in both the DevOps 3 and DevOps 4 theaters talking our Service Virtualization and Quality Acceleration value props. If you have your own success story to tell about the CA DevTest portfolio, reach out to me. I’d love to hear it, and introduce you to IT Central Station who will be onsite interviewing customers about their use of our products.
It’s gonna be a fun time! Can’t wait for the food, fun, friends, and new product launches coming in November.
That's all for this week. Expect some more intros, suggestions and interesting photos on our "Meet the Staff" entry for next week. In the meantime, if you missed our last blog, here's a quick link Countdown to CA World 2015 - Meet the Staff! (DevOps Theater 3)
