Windows in Higher Education conference 2009

[Brad Judy <win-hied () BRADJUDY COM>]

Hello all,

I am pleased to announce registration open for the nearly annual Windows in
Higher Education conference. While this conference is not focused on
security specifically, it does contain security related sessions and covers
other infrastructure topics that may be of interest to folks on this list.
Please visit the conference registration page at
http://www.microsoft.com/education/events/hied2009.mspx to register and for
more details.

Once again the conference will be held on the Microsoft campus to give us
access to speakers and other Microsoft resources. The format will be similar
to last time, consisting of about half higher education and half Microsoft
presenters at a 300-400 level, but take note that there will be some
tracking this year due to venue constraints (but on the flip side, there are
more interesting topics to pick from). In addition to structured
presentations, there will be a facilitated open discussion session, and a
bring your own 5-10 minute demo session. The action-packed agenda is at
http://windows-hied.org/wiki/index.php5?title=Agenda_2009.
