We are ramping up our preparation for BizTalk Innovation Day London http://bid.biztalk360.com . You can read more about it in the detail blog post here “BizTalk Innovation Day, London. 16th January 2013″ We wanted to make it big and exclusive for people who are involved in the Microsoft BizTalk server space. We originally planned for a capacity of 60 people, but that’s been sold out within 3 weeks. After various discussions with  Microsoft, we managed to secure a bigger auditorium at Microsoft Cardinal place office at London Victoria. Now the capacity is 100 people, which gives us another 40 additional seats. This is the maximum we can go in this venue, and we don’t have option to change the venue at this stage.  Lots of people travelling from various European countries, so far from Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Netherlands, United Kingdom and Ireland, they have already made their travel arrangements. So, this is the maximum capacity we can accommodate.  If you are thinking about attending this event, please go ahead and book it straight away, we are pretty sure we will sell out quickly.

Q and A Panel

Past couple years is a real roller coaster on the technology space, there were so many things that advanced. The whole cloud stuff, service bus on Azure, service bus on premise, EDI in the cloud, BizTalk server as Iaas, symmetry between BizTalk and Cloud, integrating on-premise stuff with cloud etc, etc. Its bit difficult to keep up with the pace and I’m sure lot of you have some burning questions that needs some answer. So we wanted to have a hot discussion panel to bring in some topics and have the experts view on them. We are bringing in industry veterans in this space, and I’m delighted to announce both Charles Young and Jon Fancey accepted our request to be member of Q&A panellists.
