On CRN TV and elsewhere, Worldwide Partner Group Corporate Vice President Allison Watson has been extending a warm welcome to partners the world over: Come to the 2009 Worldwide Partner Conference (WPC09). It will be worth your while. You'll get to meet potential business partners and Microsoft executives. And you'll find out things before anyone else will. Critical information about Windows 7. Microsoft Office 2010 and Microsoft Exchange Server 2010. Windows Mobile 6.5. And the future of the Microsoft Partner Program. But mostly, the focus will be on you. Still Time—Register for the Event of the Year At WPC09 Allison Watson will introduce the Microsoft Partner Network, an evolution of the Microsoft Partner Program. Born directly from your input, this new approach to partnering with you will help you become stronger, more profitable, more dynamically linked to each other and to us. We want to support you in your success—better than ever before. We'll be highlighting 69 stunning examples of partner success during our 2009 WPC Awards ceremony, and there's nothing like witnessing those moments in person. Take a peek at some of our winners ahead of time. You'll agree that we can all have extraordinary success when we work together. On Wednesday, July 15, watch the keynote address from motivational speaker Jack Welch. And tune in to his "reality" Web series, in which he advises business leaders who find themselves in dilemmas not unlike yours. You'll get the most out of WPC09 if you attend in person, but you can also explore the digital version. And don't forget to sign up on WPC Connect so that your colleagues can find you during the event. Track social media relevant to WPC and join us on Facebook.
