In less than a week the event of the year will be held in Las Vegas. Yes it is time to attend the Microsoft Management Summit 2012 again. Next week will be packed with very interesting System Center related breakout sessions, exams, meetings and network events. Like last year there are to many interesting sessions and so little time to attend them all. So I had to make a selection again, which is subject to change 😉
Besides the schedule, which you find below, I am looking forward to meeting my fellow ConfigMgr MVPs, peers from the community and Microsoft. It is going to be a superb week in Las Vegas!
