Taking into account the economics of traveling from South Africa to Las Vegas, it is clear there are very few IT Professionals from South Africa attending this years event. To this extent, even if you can't join us in person, there are a few ways in which you can participate in MMS 2012.

  1. The first way is by tuning in to the Keynotes being streamed live via the Microsoft Server and Cloud Platform site, more info here - https://bit.ly/IPLzJ4 .
    If you are able to tune in you can use the following URL to save the date & time of the two keynotes - https://bit.ly/HLtc79 , these will be starting at 17:30 South African time.
  2. The second way to 'attend' the over 175 breakout sessions across 5 technical tracks, is to watch the sessions on-demand. This year  one will be able to view any breakout sessions within 24 hours of the live presentation. 
    Keep an eye on the following URL for more information around on-demand - https://bit.ly/HM5jI6
  3. The third way is to attend the Best of MMS South Africa to be held in May. Use the following URL for registration, either in Johannesburg, Durban or Cape Town - https://bit.ly/GIysYX
