For the Microsoft US Partner Team, WPC 2016 is our opportunity to celebrate our partnership with you, toast to our mutual successes of the past year, and plan for new successes in the year ahead. The Microsoft fiscal year starts in July, making it an excellent point in time for us to share US-specific business priorities, initiatives, and programs with you. At WPC 2016, we are delivering six breakout sessions for US partners that will help you understand what to expect in the coming year, how to engage with the US Partner Team, and how to stay informed about each topic.
In addition to the breakout sessions, which will be held on Tuesday and repeated on Wednesday, US attendees should plan to attend the Microsoft North America General Session. Hosted by Judson Althoff, President of Microsoft North America, the MSNA General Session will showcase customer stories about how partners enabled them to achieve digital transformation that delivers real business insights and results. US and Canadian leaders will share insights and guidance about engaging and working with their teams.
The MSNA General Session and all of the US-specific sessions will be held at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (MTCC). Descriptions are in the WPC 2016 Session Catalog, and you’ll be able to add the US Sessions and the MSNA General Session to your conference schedule starting in early June.
