On behalf of Microsoft Federal, and with our partners Dell Federal we are pleased to welcome you to Microsoft's 11th Annual Symposium "Mission Critical Microsoft" on 17-18 March 2010 in Redmond, Washington at Microsoft's corporate headquarters campus. This conference is being offered under the terms of the Dell Microsoft Enterprise License Agreement contract.
Over the years, the Mission Critical Microsoft Symposium has evolved into a forum where the confluence of mission critical military objectives of the United States Air Force through the Air Force Dell Microsoft Enterprise Agreement contract meet emerging technologies that empower the Warfighter.
In this Symposium, USAF Leadership and Information Technology experts will gather to discuss emerging technologies and solutions that will allow the U.S. Air Force to conduct security and air combat operations around the globe, address demanding challenges that require superior network systems, data interoperability, and mission critical information sharing among joint and coalition forces under the Air Force Microsoft ELA. Attendees will hear from the U.S. Air Force Senior Leadership as well as thought leaders from Microsoft and Industry involved in shaping Information Technology today and for the future. Participants will also attend breakout sessions to learn more about industry changing solutions in Information Worker Technology, Data Management, and Data Visualization to help Commanders get the right information to make effective decisions that shape the battlefield and manage organizations efficiently. Microsoft Partners will also be onsite to showcase their solutions and technologies that are shaping the infrastructure of the USAF today.
The Mission Critical Microsoft Symposium addresses these challenges and provides participants with a venue for interactive discussion and learning.
Thank you for registering. I look forward to welcoming you at the 2010 Mission Critical Microsoft Symposium.
Sincerely,
Doug VanDyke
Director, US Air Force Team
