It was a fantastic conversation about “Worldwide Cloudification” across Microsoft solutions and within partner businesses, as well as hybrid cloud, the future of on-premise. In addition to the incredible insights and thoughts shared amongst all of the people involved, we also had some very exciting announcements take place during the session:

• Jon Roskill announced that Deepak Chopra is going to be the guest keynote speaker at Worldwide Partner Conference 2012 in Toronto. This is going to be an awesome session!
• I also shared details on how you can enter to win 5 VIP preferred seats for the Deepak Chopra session so you and four peers of your choosing can have the best seats in the house for this session. Not only that, but we are giving away 5 sets of 5 tickets! That’s right, we will have 5 winners who will EACH get 5 preferred seats for the Deepak Chopra keynote at Worldwide Partner Conference 2012! Want to know how to enter and win? You better watch the replay of the webcast to find out.
