July 2008


Attended Steve Ballmer keynote at WPC. Here is the video I took of Steve keynote.

I am attending my first WPC 2008 in Houston. First of all, Houston is Humidston.

The event is at George R Brown Center in Downtown Houston. The keynotes are in Toyota Center which is a short walk from GRBC.

Someone told me around 12000 people are attending this event with partners from all over the world. I personally had a chance to speak with partners from countries like UK, Germany, Serbia, Korea, China, New Zealand, Australia, LATAM (I know latin america is not a country but I am not going to list all countries and frankly i dont remember) and India. (Obviously I met prople from US too.)

The event spans July 7th to July 11th. It is broadly structured every day as follows:

- Breakfast

- KeyNotes in Toyota Center

- WPC Connect (more on this soon)

- Lunch

- Breakout presentations

- Expo Hall 

- PARTIES in the evening.!

I will be attending the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference 2008 in Houston next week. I am excited about  this and hope to gain more insights on different business models, technologies and opportunities. i will try to blog from there, but no promises.

Will definitely post some pics from WPC. You bet.

Muhammad Younis, 2006 Nobel Laurette, is going to be speaking at the event. Can I get a pic with him? Just wondering..
