Reminder of invitation to join the Project Team for breakfast at the Worldwide Partner Conference

Enterprise Project Management at WPC 2010 The Microsoft EPM team invites you to be part of the Worldwide Partner Conference 2010 (WPC). Wow, what a year and we are just getting started! In addition to the launch of the new Office 2010, Visio 2010, SharePoint 2010 and our own Project 2010, there is still much to learn about the integration and opportunities for deploying and developing solutions and preparing to train the masses as we bring them from 2003 to 2007 and now to 2010. During the action packed week planned in the capitol of the United States, the Microsoft Partner Network (MPN) will show off the new partner portal mentioned last year as well as introduce 23 new competencies, one of which is the Project & Portfolio Management competency that will replace the current EPM Specialization. The Worldwide Project Conference, as well as having great content, is an excellent opportunity for all Microsoft Project & Portfolio Competent Partners to network with the wider Microsoft Partner community. ~ Doug McCutcheon, Worldwide Partner Strategy Manager, Project Marketing Group, Redmond ~ Erin Brimmer, Senior EPM Product Manager, US Business Marketing Organization        Within this email you will be able to: · Register for the EPM Early Bird Breakfast · Learn about the exciting Project Business Session · Learn about how to book your 1:1 Meetings with Doug McCutcheon, Seth Patton, Christophe Fiessinger and others · Learn about Hands-On-Labs · Don’t miss your chance to win a Dell laptop!
