Bonus Sessions
MindSurf 2009 offers attendees even more learning choices. Between the second and third sessions, attendees will have the option to attend one bonus session. These bonus sessions are a great chance for attendees to learn about planning for the future, explore something they do not use on a regular basis or even see a sneak peak of upcoming technologies.
Topics include:
Unified Communications
Convergent would like to invite you to an interactive demo of Microsoft Unified Communications, including a look at Exchange 2010 and Office Communications Server 2007 R2. See how these industry changing technologies interact with Microsoft Office and SharePoint to keep your workforce productive from anywhere in the world. This demonstration will also focus on the "business speak" and not "geek speak" of how these technologies will dramatically improve how your organization interacts internally and with customers. Don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity to learn about the business benefits of a Microsoft Unified Communications solution!
Career Planning – Making Yourself Indispensible
Talk Show: “Where Do You Want to Be Tomorrow”, with Host Peter O’Keefe. Peter’s special guest is Eric Garrison, the General Manager of Benchmark Learning. Eric will be speaking on changes in the workplace, where both employees and employers are hoping to do more with less. Eric will be providing a live demonstration of the new Role Profile Tool as a means to help employees and employers to build targeted education plans.
A New Revolution in Reporting and Analysis: SQL Server Report Builder
Writing reports used to mean knowing what tables data was in, and how to link tables together. Report Builder for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (and later) changes the game completely. This session will show how easy report writing can be when your reporting tool is integrated with your database in such a way that you’ll never need to know a physical table name or relationship again!
