Going to Microsoft TechEd (North America) to Speak About Cloud Integration

In a few weeks, I’ll be heading to New Orleans to speak at Microsoft TechEd for the first time. My topic – Patterns of Cloud Integration – is an extension of things I’ve talked about this year in Amsterdam, Gothenburg, and in my latest Pluralsight course. However, I’ll also be covering some entirely new ground and showcasing some brand new technologies.

TechEd is a great conference with tons of interesting sessions, and I’m thrilled to be part of it. In my talk, I’ll spend 75 minutes discussing practical considerations for application, data, identity, and network integration with cloud systems. Expect lots of demonstrations of Microsoft (and non-Microsoft) technology that can help organizations cleanly link all IT assets, regardless of physical location. I’ll show off some of the best tools from Microsoft, Salesforce.com, AWS (assuming no one tackles me when I bring it up), Informatica, and more.

Any of you plan on going to North America TechEd this year? If so, hope to see you there!
