We're just over 2 months out from the Australian TechEd 2008 SMB Servers pre-day & so the agenda is almost locked. Speakers are almost locked, giveaways are almost locked, sponsors are almost locked & we've almost reached 25% of our attendee target.

So, have a look at the agenda below & think about the opportunities you'll take out of the day. Technical content, business ideas & most importantly, networking with the best & brightest SBS partners from around Australia. I've now personally presented at nearly all the SBS & SMB IT Pro user groups around the country & nearly everyone I've spoken to says they want to be there.

We'll also hopefully be soon announcing a sign-up incentive & so watch this space.

Cheers & hope to see you there,

Robbie
