Microsoft Management Summit 2009

Party invitation and information is at the bottom of this column

MMS is the annual gathering together of the System Center community. This year marks the 10th year of MMS and there are things planned for this momentous event that you just cannot miss! And -- of course, we're back in Vegas (grab a copy of the map of the Vegas Strip)

myITforum.com and MMS have grown up together. It's really hard to say where the conference would be today without this community and how our partnerships melded together.

Read about the history of MMS

But, even more, it's also really hard to say what the systems management landscape at Microsoft would look like without this community. You all should be very proud of yourselves. By coming together and voicing your concerns, desires, solutions, rants, and kudos, through myITforum.com you've enabled Microsoft to develop some highly effective solutions for managing environments.

Did you know that myITforum.com turned 10 years old this year??? That's simply amazing. How many other communities can say they have been together for that long, and maintained their importance and relevance?

As always, I want to thank Microsoft for listening in and supporting this community for so long.

But, this year marks the official announcement of our Community "Partners". For a long time, folks have just assumed that Microsoft sponsors and promotes myITforum.com and that's how we have survived for so long. That's simply not true. While we appreciate the type of support that Microsoft gives us, it doesn't pay the bills. Find out who actually invests in the myITforum.com vision and who is benefitting from our experience and reach by visiting our new Partners page:

The Premiere MMS Party - your official invitation

Steeped in tradition, this year, myITforum.com will celebrate it's 9th annual party! Who can say that? The myITforum.com party ticket is the most sought after piece of SWAG at MMS, and the stampede to get one will be as large as ever - maybe larger! Don't believe me? Watch the stampede from last year to understand what you're up against.

Thanks to the Dell folks for capturing the mad rush on film!

How to get a pass:

The MMS 2009 Expo opens at 5:30pm on Monday, April 29th, but the line to get into the Expo starts forming about an hour prior.

myITforum.com Party buttons are on a first-come first-served basis!

Date: Wednesday, April 30, 2009

Time: 5:30pm - 7:30pm
