The Microsoft IT Leadership Summit

It’s a true insider’s look at the breadth of new technology Microsoft will release over the next 12-18 months.

It’s a chance for you and your senior team to join other IT leaders in a dialogue with Microsoft. One that will have a positive impact on the product directions we develop in the future.

But most of all, it’s a rare opportunity to discover the power of the tools that will not only manage business strategy today, but will define what is possible tomorrow.

At this exclusive, one-day event, you’ll find out how to:

• Plan for today using new infrastructure, platform optimization and application strategies that build IT business value in order to create a truly People Ready company.
• Plan for tomorrow when we share with you the strategy behind Microsoft’s product roadmap. A roadmap that will define the landscape beyond Microsoft® Windows Vista™.

Please join us on Wednesday, October 25, at the Biltmore in Los Angeles, CA. CIOs are encouraged to forward this invitation to their senior staff so they can make arrangements to attend as well. They can register using the same link and code provided above.
