Irish Microsoft Technology Conference, Dublin 3rd and 4th April

Here is a quick reminder about the Irish Microsoft Technology Conference 2008 (April 3rd/4th) - with over 40 sessions to choose from this year, it’s like a mini TechEd – one event you won’t want to miss!

When? April 3rd/4th

Where? Cineworld Cinema Complex, Parnell St, Dublin 1

Fee? EUR 189

The Irish Microsoft Technology Conference has become one of the largest tech conferences in Ireland. Organised by Irishdev.com and members of the Microsoft Technology User Group, its aim is to bring top-quality speakers to Ireland so that the Irish tech community can hear the best the worldwide Microsoft community has to offer.  

Now in its third year, the 2-day, multi-track event features over 40 technology-packed sessions for both developers and IT Pros. Participants this year include world-renowned speakers from Microsoft developer groups in Redmond and the European Development Centre, technical community leaders from the US and UK and local certified partners, community leaders and other product experts.

I’ve included the jam-packed agenda below so you can see what’s on offer! Click on any topic to view the full session details and speaker bios on the IMTC website. The good news is that this year each attendee will also receive a free DVD containing all the sessions after the conference, so even if there are clashing sessions, you will be able to view all the content afterwards at your leisure.

If you would like to join us at this event, you can register online here.

We’ll be looking forward to seeing you there! :)
