Microsoft Ignite Summit: Prague

You're invited to Ignite Summit Prague

Dear valued Microsoft partner,  

Microsoft would like to extend an invitation to Ignite Summit Prague, 22-24 October 2013.  This summit will be held at the Hilton Prague hotel.

The Ignite Summits are a series of limited invitation 3 day workshops for Microsoft's most valued customers and partners providing deep-dive technical readiness on all productivity workloads from Microsoft product experts.  Ignite Summit Prague will feature over 70 breakout sessions through the Office 365, Developer, Exchange, Project, and SharePoint tracks. 

For partners in pre-sales technical roles, we are also running an exclusive partner-only Drumbeat Sales Readiness day one day prior to the Ignite Summit on 21 October.  The Drumbeat Sales readiness day provides partners with best practice sales training for Office 365.  The Drumbeat Sales day is at the same venue and you are welcome to attend both.  

During both of these events, you will also have the opportunity to interact and learn from your industry peers and representatives from Microsoft. 

There is no charge for this exclusive training, however we will be imposing a no-show fee of $600 (USD) if you register, but do not cancel your registration within ten (10) business days before the start of the first event.

Space is limited. RSVP today!

We look forward to having you participate in this exciting, invitation-only event! If you have questions, please contact the Microsoft Ignite Registration Desk.

If you prefer I not forward you these types of communications, just let me know.  To learn to manage your contact preferences for other parts of Microsoft, please read our Privacy Statement. 

Ignite Technical Readiness Track Description

Office 365

Office 365 delivers the capabilities that users demand while allowing IT to stay in control. However, this change requires IT Pros to adapt their traditional client-server skills for the cloud computing era.  In this track,  IT Pros will see how new features come to Office 365 first, learn about the new tools and processes to migrate on premises workloads to Office 365, and prepare for the new operational role of IT Pros.

Developer

The developer platform for Office, SharePoint and Office 365 offers new exciting opportunities for creating highly scalable customizations that work both in the cloud and on-premise.  The developer track will help you hit the ground running by letting you know everything you need to know to leverage the cloud app model and create apps right away.

Exchange

Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 brings a new rich set of technologies, features, and services to the product. Exchange 2013 supports people and organizations as their work habits evolve from a communication focus to a collaboration focus while helping IT lower the total cost of ownership.  The Ignite Exchange track digs deep into these capabilities and provides expert guidance to deploy Exchange Server 2013 in your own environment.  Roll-up your sleeves and get deep inside information on Exchange Server 2013.

Project

The new Microsoft Project is delivered through Office 365 and builds on top of SharePoint Online. It enables your businesses to plan and prioritize project portfolio investments and deliver the intended business value. Great implementations are always aligned with business requirements, this track helps you understand how you can deliver, configure and extend a system that delivers the right value for your business – with choice for on-premises or online deployment.

SharePoint

SharePoint helps you organize information, people and projects and provides powerful management controls to IT Pros. In this track, IT Pros will gain knowledge to deploy and upgrade to the new capabilities of SharePoint Server 2013 and SharePoint Online.
