“Cool. Why do I want to meet him?”
Because today and tomorrow I’m interviewing him in two new Live Online Chat sessions. In both we’ll be discussing virtualization The first one from the perspective of IT Pros and helping them gear-up on the latest offerings from Microsoft (“How can I be more valuable to my company or to a perspective employer in the area of virtualization?”). The second being strictly for IT Managers, where we’ll discuss the business-beneficial reasons for virtualization (“How can my company maximize our virtualization ROI and save money?”).
“Are these Webcasts?”
Well.. not really, no. Yeah, we’re using LiveMeeting like we do on webcasts, but this is meant to be a live, interactive chat. I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE ATTENDEES TO ASK QUESTIONS, because we want YOUR questions to drive the conversation.
“Will they be recorded and available at a later date?”
Absolutely. These same registration links will bring you to the recording. Here they are:
- September 2, 2009: TechNet Webcast: Thrive Live Chat! Virtualization
- September 3, 2009: IT Manager Webcast: IT Manager Community Chat with Kevin – Virtualization
Watch this blog for additional resources, as well as a Q&A summary, in case we want to answer any questions we didn’t get to or perhaps provide more resources to help answer your questions.
Hope to see you there!
Absolutely Full of I.T.
