Mark Your Calendars: WPC 2008

The official agenda for next year's Worldwide Partner Conference (WPC) won't be released for several more months, but here's a safe bet: You can plan on very warm weather -- and very hot food.

The 2008 WPC will be held July 7-10 in Houston, famous for its Deep South climate and Tex-Mex cuisine. Watch for details at partner.microsoft.com.
Meanwhile, partners who missed the 2007 WPC in Denver can now watch webcasts of about 40 conference breakout sessions. Topics range from new business opportunities to the importance of partner-to-partner networking. For the full list, visit partner.microsoft.com/40018508.
