For those of you attending the Connected Systems Conference in Vancouver, I’m presenting the session on ESB Guidance 2.0 and Service Virtualization with Jim Bowyer from Microsoft Canada. This will be an exciting (geek license invoked) look into the upcoming release of the ESB Guidance v 2.0 and the enhancements it promises to deliver. Also covered in the presentation will be the topic of service virtualization using the Managed Services Engine (MSE). If you haven’t heard of the MSE, it’s worth looking at as a part of a balanced and robust SOA infrastructure.

It’s not too late register. Click here to register for Vancouver and here to find links to the other Canadian conference venues.

The annual Microsoft SOA & Business Process Conference 2009 will be held in Redmond from January 27th-30th 2009. There have been a couple of changes to the conference that is usually held every October but is being pushed back this year due to PDC 2008 running at the same time.
