On Nov 30, here in Australia, we are holding a mini version of the SOA and Business Process Conference that was held in Redmond for our local audiences!! This is going to be awesome. The team here have been able to secure David Chappell to present in Australia, so we are looking forward to him reaching our shores and presenting at the conference! So, here is the email from our local BizTalk Product Marketing Manager – Katie McIntosh –

 

“On 30th November we are holding the Sydney leg of the Global Roadshow – Microsoft SOA and Business Process Conference.  This is a scaled down version of the recent conference held in Redmond in October.  The morning is built for Partners and the afternoon is built for Customers and Partners. 

 

The morning session is designed for Partners to learn about Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Business Process Management (BPM) and how to improve their ability to sell BizTalk based engagements. It is being delivered by International Keynote Speaker David Chappell, Principal, Chappell & Associates, who delivered the same sessions in the US conference.  (www.davidchappell.com)

 

The afternoon sessions are designed for Customers and Partners.  The afternoon starts with Keynotes by David Chappell and Microsoft’s Steve Sloan discussing the Industry and Microsoft perspectives on SOA and BPM followed by additional sessions discussing RFID, Software as a Service and Demystifying Workflow, plus SOA and BPM sessions for industry segments: FSI, Public Sector and the Communications Sector”
