Announcing our new Partner Networking Nights - industry-aligned insight and connections

We are very excited about getting these off the ground - driven by feedback received directly from our partners, who asked for better opportunities to network with other partners, and to engage with Microsoft staff. Hear from our industry managers and meet other partners and MS staff in the financial services and health sectors in an informal evening environment.

We are kickstarting with these 2 sectors in Melbourne and Sydney, but are keen to roll out other sectors and to other states.

Mark Pey, Industry Manager for Financial Services at Microsoft Corporation Australia, will walk you through the Microsoft strategies in this sector, the opportunities that exist in Australia, and examples of how other partners, together with Microsoft, have taken solutions to market.
