This years World Wide Partner Conference should be a storming success - yes, I will be attending for the 1st time and presenting, but that is not why.

Why, you ask, well probably one of the most important sessions for those who work in the Small Business market is going to be the sessons on the community.  And one of the best will be presented by 3 fine community members in the UK.  These people do not work for Microsoft and the community they represent is not owned by Microsoft, but we walk the same path helping eachother out because it has benefit to our business to do so,

The short answer is to be there, at the Small Business Symposium on Monday 10th July. Look for the Community presentation by these three.

You will learn what has powered the UK & Irish communities both in terms of their success and the individual partner success.  They have broadened their relationships beyond just Microsoft and are having real impact with other vendors such as HP, CA etc.  Finally, they will deliver a one-two on resources for you, but not necessarily the MS Partner program, but things like SMB Nation, blogs, community forums, events etc.

If at the end of it you do not understand how the community can benefit you, your business and how to find the answers easier, then you have been sat in the wrong room!!  I will post the room details closer to the time.
