The Innovate IT camps are back... Ready, get tech, go!
Update: The #InnovateIT Camps are coming back! We're finalising dates, but be sure to check back for your chance to join.
What is an #InnovateIT Camp?
Last year over 700 attendees developed their Hybrid IT skills, with deep dives on Hyper-V, log analytics, System Center and much more. This year we’re looking to showcase the top features of Windows Server 2016 and show you how to develop your own Hybrid solution with Azure. Ed Baker has built a strong following through these camps, which strike the perfect (right) balance of theory, demo and hands-on labs.
To make the most of the camp, we’ve segmented it into a 2-day event; one focused on all things Windows Server and the following day will be Azure – but that’s not all that we’re going to cover. You will see deep dives into Operations Management Suite, Azure Site Recovery and an overview of Containers in WS2016. We recommend you make the most of this opportunity and take advantage of both days as it will give you the best exposure to our systems.
Why should I go?
We know, we know: your boss will ask you why you should take 2 days off to go to this, so we’re going to make this easy for you. First, it’s free! But more importantly, this is your chance to get to grips with Nano Servers, Docker, Azure Resource Manager – we can go on here but see the list below. We’ll be building on this list to bring you up to speed with the newest features. The #InnovateIT camps can give you a good foundation to take Microsoft Exams, enabling you to become the qualified expert.
You'll also receive a pass for a free month of Azure, have the opportunity to sign up to our new Azure skills courses, and have 90-day access to labs that'll help you to complete your learning. Not bad!

Guys why was this announced so late in the day? I got an email on 18th Jan telling us about the 24th/25th Jan in Birmingham. I see it was on the web earlier, but emails are the route to marketing & filling places surely? Real shame, would have loved to attend this, but too late notice. PLEASE can you put the same event on again in the Midlands somewhere.. cheers! - Anonymous

There is a Microsoft regional office, around 2 miles from my home location. There also used to be similar opportunities for Microsoft seminars etc in or around the Manchester /greater Manchester area. As I am quite disabled. Travel to the location of events is pretty much a exclusionary reason for my inability to attend without too much discomfort. 4 compressed disc's and a curved spine, quite exclusionary in its own right. Could you not liase with the BCS Manchester region office based at Salford uni? I am sure that they would be keen to help. - Anonymous

Hello I can attend Reading or London but the camps are both full already after I read your email.

I have just received the innovate mail advising on the 2 day deep dive in Manchester. I immediately html'd and as the date's for Manchester were blue. Clicked, and surprise, all spaces gone. With an option to register for future events. As I diligently do. I have always been too late for the seminars in mail advice. Doesn't seem very fair. However I will continue to be on the mailing list. Got to be in it to win it, right?- Anonymous

Same position as Kevin - Event fully booked by the time I found out about it. Is there any way I can get on a list as a sub for cancellations? I work for a very large customer of Microsoft (as you can see from my email address) (Obviously this is also a vote for an additional Manchester date)

Can we get some additional dates for Manchester, as all the spaces were taken up within the few brief moments from clicking the link to going to the site.. A single workshop isn't enough for the amount of people who are interested is a bit poor form. - Anonymous

Well I would love to attend the Tuesday 4th to Wednesday 5th April event in Leeds. If there is waiting list, would you please record my interest should someone does not attend? I would also like to suggest to email or call people who are interested on once you know someone is not attending. I work in Leeds City centre and I would love to attend should someone registered does not attend. I guess this suggestion my be valid for additional people... - Anonymous
