IT Pro 2010 Conference

I’m leaving for New Orleans tomorrow to participate in the IT Pro 2010 Conference. This’ll be my first time at this conference. It’s run by SBSMigration.com. It’s a somewhat unique conference in that there will be very few presentations. It’s mostly panel discussions and workshops. I’m helping Mitch Garvis run a workshop on “Desktop Deployment and Management Tools” and participating on a panel about “Will the Cloud Break or Fix Your Business Model?” The latter should be interesting. The panel includes people who’ve “gone all in” on cloud computing and others who think it’s the latest overhyped “next big thing”. I’m somewhere in the middle. I’m excited to be working with Mitch, although I’m nervous about it as well. Mitch is the expert on Windows 7 deployment. I’m just a beginner compared to him. It should be a fun time in New Orleans.

Oh yeah, almost forgot. I’m getting married in New Orleans after the conference. And no Dee I didn’t forget. I was joking about that. I’m so excited about the marriage that it’s hard to remember I have actual work to do while in New Orleans. Great conference, a chance to meet up with some old friends, take in some great jazz, and then get married, what could be better than that?
