This is part nine of The Twelve Days of Lync’mas, to see an index of all twelve posts click here.
On the ninth day of Lync’mas my UC Team gave to me: a trip to Lync Conf… in 9 weeks!
Nine weeks and counting until the first ever Lync Conference. Nine weeks sounds like a lot of time, but it’ll be here before you know it. Sort of like how Christmas – ‘er I mean Lync’mas – sneaks up on you! I can’t believe we are less than a week a way from Christmas and only nine weeks until Lync Conference. It is a very exciting time and we at Perficient are thrilled to be a sponsor of Lync Conference 2013 where we will be hosting the evening event on Wednesday, February 20th.
So what is there to look forward to at Lync Conference? I’m glad you asked, here are some highlights:
- Keynotes
- Tony Bates, President, Skype Division of Microsoft
- Derek Burney, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Lync Engineering
- Breakout Sessions
- Over 50 breakout sessions to choose from
- Sessions range from 100 level to 400 level and cover everything from general product overview to deep dive technical topics
- Networking Activities
- There will be several opportunities for networking, but the most fun will be the Perficient sponsored Attendee Party!
- San Diego – Need I say more? Yes? Ok, Hotel del Coronado – A beachfront luxury hotel in the city of Coronado, AAA Four Diamond rated, National Historic Landmark and once listed on USA Today’s “Top 10 Resorts In The World”
