The Developer & Platform Group at Microsoft are pleased to announce a series of technical briefings, targeted at our Microsoft ISVs and start-up partners, focused on the cloud based Azure Services Platform, first announced at the Microsoft Professional Developers Conference in Los Angeles in October 2008. This event will cover:

· Windows Azure – The operating system for the Cloud

· .Net and Live Services – Mesh, Service Bus, Access Control and Workflow.

· SQL Data Services and data access

· Next Steps

The briefings will consist of technical discussion, demos and interactive discussion and will focus on how Azure can be used as a platform for development. The sessions will be small, typically less than 25, to keep the flow of conversation going, and are suitable for Technical Decision Makers, Application Architects, Senior Developers and CTOs. There will be time after the event for more detailed one to one discussions on any topics related to this session.
