Most of the sessions will be delivered by a combination of Microsoft and Community technical presenters and will involve as much time spent demo the technology, as possible. The content delivered will be technical level 300. March will see the four-city tour stop for evening events in Galway and Cork, with full day events in Dublin and Belfast.                     &lt;br /&gt;Don’t miss this amazing opportunity to get up-to speed on the latest Microsoft technology at no cost!

&lt;P&gt;I wanted to make available the slide decks that were used as part of the Ireland SBS and EBS product launch event in Dublin on Nov. 12th. I have posted the files on my skydrive.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I will be hosting another launch session on December 17th in Belfast for those who missed this session. More information regarding this session will be made available ASAP.&lt;/P&gt;
