Microsoft Partner Conference - SBSC Discounted Registration!
Hi Guys,
I am contacting you in relation to the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference. Hopefully you received a communication from either Colin Cassidy or I during April in relation to this.
As Small Business Specialists you can avail of a DISCOUNTED registration fee ($1395 vs full fee of $1795). You can avail of this discounted fee by clicking here. Also when booking your hotel accommodation I would recommend selecting the Westin Oaks hotel if possible.
For Small Business Specialist partners the conference highlights will include the pre conference Small and Medium Partner Forum, a specific Small Business track at the main conference and a great schedule of Microsoft Ireland specific events at the conference (with a mix of business and pleasure).
It would be great to see our local Irish Small Business Specialist partners attending the conference this year given the significant local investments we have made in the program and the investments we plan to make in the coming year. Last year a number of Irish SBSC partners attended the conference and the following are some of their thoughts around the benefits of attending..........
“Attending the Worldwide Partner event was excellent and I will be adding it to my calendar as a “yearly must”. It was great as a Small Business Specialist to have the focused Small Business Symposium pre event and there were some excellent sessions between this event and the main conference. It’s a great chance to think about your business as well as new technologies. The part I didn’t realise was going to be as good as it was – the networking with other Irish partners, as well as great fun it’s a opportunity to share stories and a few beers. You need to go once to understand why it’s a must every year.”

“I would have to say the Microsoft conference was a real eye opener with regards to our continued education into new products. Sometimes we can all sit on the fence and continue doing what we know and what we are comfortable with. Stepping out of my comfort zone meant going to Denver and what it has done for my outlook and business is fantastic. What I really liked was the focus on how to develop our services around Microsoft’s new products. I really learned where Microsoft is heading which lets me make a few changes in my company that will keep us in line.One of the most beneficial outcomes for me was to meet with the other Partners in Ireland in a very open forum where we could discuss the new innovations and products which are emerging on the market, but also where Managed Services are headed and how we should all get there.”
