It's time to start gearing up for the long-awaited 2007 Microsoft Project Conference!
Although it has not yet been posted to the MS Project Conference website (
http://www.msprojectconference.com), the dates, location, and some other preliminary information have been solidified and shared through the Microsoft Partner channel:
Microsoft Office Project Conference 2007
Dates: October 28-31, 2007
Location: Washington State Trade and Convention Center, Seattle, WA
Since the attendance has been growing at a tremendous rate from year to year, the organizers have selected the Washington State Trade and Convention Center for the 2007 event. The largest hotels in the area are simply no longer large enough to accommodate the growing attendance. I believe that last year's attendance was somewhere in the 1,400-1,500 range, and the target for this year is 2,500... almost double!
At a high level, a couple of the main goals for this year's MS Project Conference are to showcase the end-to-end Portfolio and Project Management capabilities of the new Project and Portfolio Server 2007 technologies, as well as to enhance the overall awareness of the Microsoft EPM partner service offerings for successful implementation of EPM within organizations. There will be more opportunities this year for partners to present during the sessions, and because of the larger venue, there will be a much larger expo hall for partners to set up their booths and present their product and service offerings.
