Hilton's wrap-up of the WW Partner Conference
http://hiltont.blogspot.com/2008/07/wpc-08-summary.html
Good summary & whilst I perhaps had a slightly different take on some of the sessions, I agree that one of the most useful part of any conference such as this is in the networking. The chance to chat & exchange ideas & challenge your peers from around the world is priceless as it gives you an opportunity to think outside the box.
In Australia in the next 6 weeks, you get the chance to do this twice:
- Australian Partner Conference
- We're expecting 650+ partners plus over 100 Microsoft staff
- 3 days of sessions & discussions & merry-making in Port Douglas
- Still one or two places left (Gold & Certified partners only unfortunately)
- TechEd SMB Servers pre-day
- Looking at 350+ partners for the pre-day
- Over 2,800 in total for TechEd, of which around 50% are partners
- 200+ sessions covering just about every piece of our technology
Cheers & hope to see you at one or both of these events,
Robbie
