Channel Happy Hour Show Notes – Episode 84

Conflicting Developer Conferences

Microsoft’s largest annual developer conference, Build 2018, is set for May in Seattle, and it is the same week as Google I/O 2018, Google’s own developer conference. This is the kind of thing that used to drive me crazy when I was running a VAR.  You limited bench resources that need to go to these conferences.  It would be nice if there was some coordination between the major players.
