Ok, so I don't want this to sound like a Microsoft commercial, but if you are a system builder in the Central Florida/Orlando area and have not signed up for this event (Orlando, Nov 18, 2008 Rosen Centre Hotel), 8:30 am - 12 pm, its about time you do!
This is the "SBS 2008" Solution Building for System Builders event covering all the stuff listed in the blah blah blah below. The most excellent part about this is that it will be presented by Ron Grattopp, a long time Microsoftee (and AF veteran) who knows your business space and will give you the straight up.
Sign up here and see you on Tuesday the 18th!
