The E2EVC Virtualization Conference will finally happen in under 3 weeks with my break-out session abstract now published online:

“Making Lync VDI work best in your virtualization environment”

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) promotes centralized, secure and efficient management of an organization’s fleet of machines in the datacentre. From the deployment of thin to thick clients, an understanding of the what and how to effectively support Lync Server 2013/2010 within a VDI infrastructure is crucial. Troubleshooting real-time communication tips and tricks round up the discussion in this practical orientated session.

The entire team and I look forward to meeting you (again) in person in Copenhagen real soon now.

The very first sold-out Lync Conference 2013 was a run-away success! Partners, vendors, Microsoft staff, Lync MVPs and industry peers converged in sunny, wet and at times cold and rainy San Diego at the historical Hotel del Coronado.

For the intensive 2.5 conference days, there were business and hard-core level 300/400 technical dive-in content that appealed to just about everybody. Plenty of social networking opportunities abound during the Welcome Reception (Exhibition hall opened), Ask-The-Expert evening, daily Birds-of-Feature (Bof) breakfast meetup, by-invitation only side-events* and the grand finale - party at the famous San Diego Sea World with the spectacular killer whale Shamu show and “manta” coaster ride.

I had the pleasure to co-host as a speaker the Instructor Lead Lab “ILL001: Deploying and Configuring Lync Edge Server 2013″ on Wednesday 20 Feb 2013 (10:15-11:30am) with my good MVP colleague James Ooi. It was very encouraging to see so many interested delegates that joined us in the ILL class with excellent questions and feedback.
