Hitachi Consulting is a sponsor so I’ll definitely be there. I’d be glad to meet with you while I’m there so feel free to contact me in advance to make arrangements.

The previous Microsoft launch event for Microsoft CRM 4.0 was really nicely done and had a huge attendance. CRM 2011 is really hot right now so this should be a great event.
