Bamboo Solutions is heading to the Big Easy next week for the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference and ... wow, trying to schedule sessions and WPC Connect meetings with current and prospective partners is a lot of hard work. Four full days is beginning to seem not nearly enough time, so I wanted to make sure that all Bamboo Partners are aware of the Bamboo Happy Hour we are holding on Wednesday night, from 5-7pm at Gordon Biersch – right across the street from the convention center. Though we're attending, we won’t be exhibiting in the EXPO this year, so if you planned to find us there, please head over to Gordon Biersch on Wednesday from 5-7pm for a drink on us instead!
Speaking of partners, if you're a Microsoft partner and you're unable to be in New Orleans next week, you're invited to register to attend the Digital WPC. You may not be able rub elbows with your fellow SharePoint professionals, but you won't have to miss any of the valuable sessions and keynotes, all of which will be streaming live to Digital WPC registrants. Unfortunately, Gordon Biersch does not offer a Digital Happy Hour, so only those Bamboo Partners who are actually present in New Orleans will be able to partake of the Bamboo Happy Hour, but we hope to see all of you there.
This will be my 5th year to the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference, and I am sure it will be a great time, with great people, learning a bunch of great information. See you in New Orleans!
