Interop 2016 ? Presentation Guide

What is it about going away that makes the world throw a dozen deadlines at you at once??🙂
Now the main ones have been tackled, it?s time to get my thoughts published regarding Interop 2016, which I had the pleasure of speaking at.
It?s always scary speaking at a conference that you?ve never attended before, as you don?t know if your content will hit the mark. I?m pleased to report that there was a great mix of topics at this event ? from higher level ?what?s the future?? discussions to deep dive technical sessions.p>

When I mentioned to someone it was interesting being out of the Microsoft ?bubble?, they asked if the conference covered AWS, Google etc. But the perspective mainly wasn?t solution-specific and there were a lot of conversations around automation, DevOps, security etc ? all the usual stuff that Enterprise Admins & Developers like to talk about and a lot of chat about where the industry is heading (and our roles in it!).
I provided some insight to the Future of the Data Center discussion to 24?7 IT Connection and you can read it here:?http://24x7itconnection.com/2016/05/18/debating-future-data-center/
My topic ?Integrating Cloud applications into your Infrastructure Strategy? was attended by I.T. managers and I.T. professionals (actually it was a 75/25 split).
My slides are very visual as I talk to the audience more than I read from the screen, so as promised (albeit belatedly!), here?s my presentation guide. It also contains a mini deck of my slides.

It was great being around a really positive vibe and I?d definitely attend Interop again. Dates have been set as May 22-26 2017.
