What a week it has been! Hard to believe that here we are at the beginning of Day 4, the final day, of Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference 2011. I don’t know about you, but this week has absolutely flown by. Then again, this is my favorite week of the entire year, and you know what they say, “Time flies when you’re having fun.” In case you missed it, I have posted up recaps of the prior days so far here at WPC11:

• WPC 11 Day one – What a start! Here’s some of the great things from WPC 11 day one for you…
• WPC 11 Day 2 – The momentum continues! My recap of information for you
• I’ll be posting my Day 3 recap a little later today

Be sure to check it out and let me know your feedback. If you’re on Twitter, you can ping me with your favorite part of Days 1, 2 or 3 by sending me a tweet that says, “My favorite part of #WPC11 Day 2 @ericligman was ______” and fill in the blank with your favorite part(s).

Like yesterday, I thought I would share some information for Day 4 with you to make sure you have it for this fourth day of the conference, especially since it is Regional day today and the schedule is different:

1. Since there are no keynotes today, we will not be streaming anything from WPC11 today.
2. For those of you here in person:

4. Remember, the www.DigitalWPC.com site has information about all aspects of the event. Be sure to utilize it. I have also posted a cheat sheet to get you directly to the information you are looking for on the DigitalWPC site: Getting you directly to the Worldwide Partner Conference info (#WPC11)
5. If you have a Windows Phone, you can access WPC info through the Microsoft Partner Info mobile app by clicking the the WPC mobile icon on the main screen. You’ll also have access to information from Jon Roskill, the Microsoft Partner Team, Product Teams, and much, much more.
