Recommended sessions for SBC and OEM Resellers at APC

I saw that on the Microsoft Partner Network Blog on MSDN that they are doing session recommendations for the Australian Partner Conference, so I thought I would do my own here. I've put multiple options in some slots due to the breadth of solutions that you delivery, but make sure you take a look at the full agenda because everyone's business is different.

First up, here are the two that have been published for SMB and Education partners, which might already go a way towards what you need.
