Microsoft Ignite Conference 2017

Will you be attending the Microsoft Ignite conference in Orlando, FL next week? Let’s connect! I’m not giving any talks this year, so I will be spending most of my time with the folks at Pointsharp in their booth in the expo hall. Want to talk security, remote access, multifactor authentication, load balancing/application delivery, PKI, or anything else? Stop by and say hi! Follow me on Twitter @richardhicks for live updates. In addition, I’ll be hosting a happy hour event with NetMotion on Tuesday, September 26 at 6PM at the Rocks lounge in the Hyatt Regency hotel just across the street from the conference center. Be sure to drop in and say hello! Hope to see you there!
