I started off the tour this week visiting a Microsoft Partner Days event in London, I am now heading up to Manchester to see what useful information I can gather and people I can speak to.
IP Expo is one of them events that each year you should try and attend either the one in London or the one in Manchester, it’s a free event but with lots and lots of potential to bump into some great people. There are also some great speaking sessions that are worth listening to.
This year I will only be going for one day, I wanted to cram as much content into my day as possible and wanted to share that with you here.
I will get to what I put in my own agenda shortly but just the event in general is very focused it seems around GDPR, AI, Data Analytics, DevOps and Security.
I for one am pretty interested in all these areas some more than others so my agenda below should follow that nicely.

As you can see I have a good mix of sessions to try and attend, the good thing about this event though is there are lots of people that I won’t have seen for a while and then breaks and meet ups the ability to have a coffee and a chat is also a great use of time here.
If you are heading to Manchester for the event then let me know and we can grab a coffee.
