The Experts Conference for Directory & Identity USA 2010
The Experts Conference - Active Directory & Identity is not only the premier 400-level technical education event of the year, it's also the official "in-person gathering" of The Experts Community.
This is the place to get the most detailed, practical, re-world information from the folks who are using it every day, from the technologies' creators, and from your peers and colleagues. Simply put, there's no event anywhere else that offers such in-depth education on Active Directory and ForeFront Identity Manager
TEC for Active Directory and Identity is co-located with two other TEC events, offering a full agenda of Exchange training and, for the first time ever, an entirely new TEC for SharePoint!
Follow us on Twitter: @TECconf
Please note: The TEC team is working to obtain missing presentations and will post them as soon as they are obtained from the speakers.
