Just a reminder that there are a few Microsoft events being run over the next couple of days.
‘Tech Days’ are a collaborative effort between Microsoft and the IT Pro Community to re-deliver the highlights of Tech Ed Conference to IT Pros across Ireland. Most of the sessions will be delivered by a combination of Microsoft and Community technical presenters and will involve as much time spent demo’ing the technology as possible. The content delivered will be technical level 300. March will see the four-city tour stop for evening events in Galway and Cork, and full-day events in Dublin and Belfast.
Don’t miss this amazing opportunity to get up-to speed on the latest Microsoft technology at no cost!
All the events are going to be held in the Hilton Hotel in Belfast
