EnergizeIT is Less Than a Month Away!!

fz_background

As we get closer to summer, I keep recalling a commercial that starts playing on TV every year around mid-July.  As it starts you hear the famous Christmas-time refrain It's the most wonderful time of the year and wonder what the heck is going on (Christmas song in July??) until you realize the commercial is about parents getting ready to send their kids back to school and the excitement they are feeling at that prospect! 

At this time of year, I start to sing that famous Christmas refrain in my head, but for a very different reason - EnergizeIT is almost here!!  Yes, for the third year running, we will be hosting a unique event in Canada, and perhaps the globe, bringing together IT Pros, IT Managers, Developers, Students, Designers, and anyone else who is enthusiastic about technology and the potential of technology for a Saturday of learning, connecting, and celebration of IT. 

This year's event takes place on Saturday, May 24, (the Saturday after the long weekend) at the Toronto Congress Centre.  The theme this year is Anything is Possible as we celebrate the phenomenal things that IT has made possible in our work and personal lives (social media, cross-distance collaboration and communication, the never disconnected lifestyle, and more) as well as the potential of IT to change our lives in the years to come.

EnergizeIT 2007 was a phenomenal success, as shown by this short video, and we promise to make this year’s event even better. There will be 9 tracks dealing with such topics as Green IT, PHP on Windows, Career, Security and much more. You can also take time to enhance your technical skills in instructor-led or self-paced hands-on labs, so bring your notebook as we will have wireless connectivity and power to allow you to make the most of your experience.

Stay tuned as we announce more details on the Canadian IT Pro Blog over the next little while. Registration is open now by going to https://www.microsoft.ca/technet/energizeit so sign up now and tell you friends. It promises to be an exciting event designed to help you energize your career, gain technical skills and connect with your peers. Anything is possible!!
