Would you like an excuse to get out of the office for a few days? When is the last time you learned something new? Or how would you like an opportunity to share fresh ideas on the technology you’re passionate for?
Or heck, maybe it’s just been a while since you’ve been to Vegas? 
Join me and other Microsoft enthusiasts at the DEVCONNECTIONS conference this fall! This semiannual event covers many tracks from Visual Studio to Exchange Server to Microsoft’s hot new cloud products: Azure and Office 365.
In addition to attending some great sessions, I will also be presenting on two topics:
| Exchange Online: Administration |
| Be careful not to fool yourself; Exchange Online (part of Office 365) offloads infrastructure management, but as an administrator, you are still responsible for the administration of your user mailboxes, Internet mail flow, message tracking and more! This session introduces you to the various administrative interfaces of Exchange Online, Forefront, RBAC, provisioning and other operational topics. |
| Exchange Online: Understanding Archiving and Compliance |
| Thinking of moving to Office 365? Whether you are aiming for a period of coexistence or a complete migration, your archival and compliance requirements are not going away! In this session we examine the features and functionality that Microsoft provides around retention, archiving, and search. |

And if that’s not incentive enough, I’ll close by reminding you that Halloween in Las Vegas should prove to be very interesting…

Do you do any “real” work anymore or just go speak at these things?
