Microsoft consolidates enterprise IT conferences

July 21, 2014

Microsoft will hold next year a new conference that encompasses its enterprise IT products, including the productivity and server Office software, IT management wares and development tools, and replaces several shows that are narrower in scope.Described as a “unified technology event for enterprises,” it will be held in May of 2015 in Chicago, and will apparently fuse Management Summit, TechEd and individual conferences for Exchange, SharePoint, Lync and Project.It’s not clear whether Build will also be folded into this new conference. Microsoft didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.“If you’ve attended TechEd or Microsoft Management Summit, this the place for you to be. It’s everything you’ve come to know and love and more. You’ll find what you’re familiar with and you’ll learn more about Lync, Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Exchange, Office 365, Project, SharePoint, SQL Server, System Center, Visio, Visual Studio, Windows, Windows Intune, Windows Server and lots more,” Microsoft said in a blog post.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
