Until July 14 2011, the Los Angeles Convention Center will be the home of this year’s Worldwide Partner Conference.
Although the Worldwide Partner Conference 2011 (WPC 2011) has started as of July 10, at the end of the past week, fact is that the event’s keynote will happen today.
The company’s Chief Executive Officer will of course take the stage to deliver the
keynote, but he won’t be alone.
“WPC’s 2011 keynote line up will be better than ever before. Hear from Steve Ballmer - CEO, Kevin Turner- COO, Jon Roskill – corporate VP of the Worldwide Partner Group and other key Microsoft Executives. Get the roadmap for 2012, hear their vision and strategies for business direction, customer campaigns, upcoming launches and more,” Microsoft said.
As it is usually the case with such events, the keynote will be streamed live around the world. The Vision Keynote, featuring Ballmer and Roskill will be held at the Staples Center between 9:00 am - 11:30 am Pacific Time.
“The Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference (WPC) is Microsoft’s premier event for the partner community to learn about Microsoft’s road map and best practices for the year, and gain exclusive access to connect and network with other partners and Microsoft employees,” the software giant said.
“At WPC 2011, held July 10-14 in Los Angeles, Steve Ballmer, Jon Roskill, Kevin Turner and many other Microsoft executives will share their vision for the company, announce new product innovations, and detail Microsoft’s cloud services strategy for partners and their customers.”
