Irish Microsoft Technology Conference - 7th June

  • Article

Hi,

The Microsoft Technology User Groups in Ireland have got together to put on yet another great day-long conference for 2007. This year it's called the Irish Microsoft Technology Conference (last year it was the Irish .NET Developer Conference - but they had to drop the 'developer' because there is just so much content for IT Pros this year!!).

· When? June 7th, 9am till late.

· Where? Cineworld complex , Dublin

· Cost? 50 euros (to help the groups cover costs). 

With 18 sessions from expert international and local speakers, this is one event that you will not want to miss! The event represents the largest ever Irish gathering of top-quality speakers on Microsoft technologies. They are covering everything from the newly-announced Silverlight and Expression products to WCF, Biztalk, SQL Server, Longhorn Server, Security, mobile development, Infocard, game development (our own Rob Burke even promises some Mindstorm robotics integration in his long-awaited talk on XNA). Have a look at the list below to get an idea of the sessions you will get to choose from. Visit www.mtug.ie/imtc for more details... or just bite the bullet and BOOK ONLINEnow! It is sure to be sold out quickly.

Hope to see you there!

Dave.
