BI Conference Date Change

The past year was an exciting year for Microsoft Business Intelligence! At the last BI Conference, we unveiled some of our plans for the next wave of BI technology with 'Kilimanjaro' and the much talked about 'Gemini'. In early 2009, we announced that we are moving the scorecarding, dashboarding and analytical capabilities of PerformancePoint into SharePoint Server, bringing BI to exponentially more people within an organization. At TDWI, we announced impressive advancements in our data warehousing technology with Fast Track Data Warehousing.

Through 2009 and 2010 we will see more news and advancements around Microsoft BI as we lead into the launches of the next versions of Office and SQL Server. Due to this flurry of activity, and the global economic constraints to travel budgets worldwide, we are moving the BI conference to a bi-annual event, with the next conference scheduled in Seattle on October, 2010. The next BI Conference scheduled for October 2009 will be moved to October 2010 in Seattle, WA, and all further BI Conferences will be held every second year on an ongoing basis.

For 2009, Microsoft Business Intelligence solutions and capabilities will be covered at the SharePoint Conference (October 2009, Las Vegas, NV) and PASS Summit Unite 2009 (November 2009, Seattle, WA). Customers and partners who are more focused on building out the BI platform will want to attend PASS Unite, whereas people focused on information delivery will want to attend the SharePoint conference. We will be crafting the content to be consistent but targeted at both events.
