MMS 2009 : Approved!
Finally received official approval to attend MMS 2009, and immediately went online and booked the hotel and registration.
If you've not been, MMS is THE place to cram more knowledge into your head about Microsoft Management products in one week than you will the rest of the year. It's THE place to be to learn what's new, and to speak with vendors about how they're leveraging (or competing with) the toolset.
The invaluable part of the event is peer interaction. I've met more folks and learned more from them at MMS than anywhere else. Everyone you run into is willing to talk and learn, and some of the folks have been instrumental to me at various stages of solving problems and getting things going here on the home front.
You know who you are.
The sessions and breakouts are great - the conversations when you
grab an MVP in the hallway or after a session are invaluable.
If you need justification for the bean counters, take a look at
this document and see if you can modify it to fit your needs.
Now we play the waiting game until the session schedule comes out, then frantically sign up for the sessions to attend before they fill up.
Hope to see you there!
