Join me at TechDays in San Francisco happening June 5-6

 

I'm excited to be participating in TechDays in San Francisco happening June 5-6. You can't ask for a better line up of speakers and sessions. It is two days, 4 tracks per day and just some amazing content. The entire schedule is available up on Eventboard (mobile app) and it is the best way to figure out who is presenting and the session abstracts.

The remarkable part of this regional conference is the quality and level of speakers they get who also present at events like Microsoft TechEd, TechMentor, Windows Connections, and many other key conferences. Oh, and one of the best parts of this conference? It is only $200 for two days and there is limited time to sign up. All the proceeds go to help fund raise for Pacific IT Professionals, a non-profit IT pro user group to run their monthly user group meetings so come help them out!

So join me in San Francisco at the Microsoft office and hear from industry experts about IT, DevOps and all the interesting innovations happening in the industry today, like PowerShell!

Second Annual TechDays happening May 2-3, 2013 - only 3 weeks left to sign up!

Pacific IT Professionals will be hosting the second annual TechDays conference in San Francisco May 2-3, 2013. Really excited this is happening, specifically because the speaker line up this year is fantastic. The topics range from PowerShell (with two separate PowerShell MVP's coming to present - Jeff Hicks and Aleksandar Nikolic) to Cloud (Private and Public) to Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8.

Mark Minasi is returning and will be incredible as always and we will be welcoming some DevOp sessions with Glenn Block and Richard Campbell. Darren Mar-Elia is returning so those that need their Group Policy fix should be sure to attend. To add to the fun we will be having a Women In Technology (WIT) panel with Christa Anderson, Jennelle Crothers, Jessica DeVita and Laura Hunter and being moderated by Richard Campbell to be recorded for RunAs Radio. Almost all the speakers presenting at this conference are either Microsoft blue badge or Microsoft MVP's and are regular speakers at other conferences like Microsoft TechEd, TechMentor and Windows Connections.

Overall, I can't emphasis enough what an incredible bargain this conference is given what the quality of sessions (4 tracks running over 2 days) will be so go register now. It is limited to the first 200 registered attendees and that is it! The sessions are all available up on EventBoard which is available for iPhone, Android and Windows Phone in addition to a native Windows 8 app. A summary of the sessions is also up on the website.

I hope I will see you there!

I am co-chairing a regional IT Professional conference in San Francisco called TechDays SF. The conference is going to have some amazing speakers (many who present at Microsoft TechEd and other major IT conferences across the US) and I encourage you to check out their bios and the session abstracts too. The conference is at Microsoft's San Francisco office and is Thursday March 22nd and Friday March 23rd from 9am to 5pm both days. The TechDays website has all the details so I won't rehash it all here but please do plan on joining us, it should be a great event!
