Microsoft IT Pro camp

[Jonathan Noble]

This may be of relevance to some of you, or you may know someone who might want to attend this event, so please pass this on.

The presenters aren't all from Microsoft, specifically with the intention of keeping it honest and not just a load of marketing gloss. I got to try out the new format that Microsoft are using for these events last week, and it's really quite fluid with the audience directing the content to a reasonable extent.

It's an intentionally small event, so sign up ASAP if you're interested...

This year the UK Tech.Days team have changed the format of our traditional Tech.Days theatre events into a series of ‘Boot Camp’ style seminars. The aim of these is to allow IT Professionals to have more discussion time with evangelists like Andrew Fryer, and each other to share common problems and solutions – and we’re looking for your help to share these with your users.   

 

The Newcastle Event will host approx. 70 people with a mixture of discussions and practical demonstration. Although there will be a loose agenda, it will be PowerPoint-free event, allowing the hosts to focus on the questions that our guests ask.

 

For the event in Newcastle, we will be focusing on the Consumerisation of IT:

·         How key Microsoft technologies such as System Center 2012, SharePoint 2010, Windows Server 2008R2, Exchange 2010 or Office 365 and Windows 7 come together to help you deliver flexibility and support for devices and desktops.

·         How to use the latest tools to manage your estate, deliver applications flexibly, manage devices such as iOS and Android as well as Windows, implement IP Sec, reduce anti-malware costs, implement Direct Access and secure remote access.

·         We'll also help you think about what you need to build into a "Bring your own device" or BYOD policy.
