Use WPC Connect today to connect with your peers and Microsoft at Worldwide Partner Conference

  • Article

Earlier today in my, “Connect with your peers in the Yellow Lounge at Worldwide Partner Conference,” post, I mentioned how one of the greatest values Partners tell us they get from conferences such as #wpc09 is the peer to peer and Partner to Microsoft connections they make while at the conference. To help foster this and make it even easier for you to make these invaluable connections, we have WPC Connect available to all attendees, and here is a quick overview (click images for full size) on how you can make connections right now using WPC Connect:

  • Log on to Digital WPC and click on “Connect” (you will be prompted to sign in with your Windows Live ID if you haven’t yet).

  • Click on My Profile

  • Review and Update your profile information to enable others to connect with you
  • Click Update
  

That’s it! You are read to start scheduling sessions!

Don’t hesitate any longer. Get out to the Digital WPC site today and opt in to WPC Connect so that you can start setting up your connections for next week’s #WPC09! I look forward to seeing you there.

Also, be sure to catch up on some of the pre-WPC networking taking place already by joining WPC09 on Facebook or following #WPC09 on Twitter or on LinkedIn.

Thank you and have a wonderful day,

    The WPC Connect site is temporarily down due to an electrical fire in downtown Seattle that has impacted many business including local news stations and our WPC Connect hosting company. This fire caused a massive power outage at the building and the automatic fire suppression caused all backup generators to fail. We are working with our vendor and local power officials to get services restored as quickly as possible.
