I'm excited to be representing ITNinja and speaking at the Packaging Event again this year in the Netherlands. This is the 8th annual event for PDS who hosts what has grown to a two-day event focused on desktop, mobile and (of course) application management. This will be my fourth time attending/speaking and I have had a great time and gotten a lot out of it each time. It is great to meet so many people that care about the same topics and to meet with vendors all servicing the same. Last year, in addition to some valuable networking, I had the opportunity to talk about Windows 8 for the enterprise with Tweakers and to do an interview with ISPAM's Rashid Niamat with a focus on ITNinja. 

In my keynote last year I presented a timeline approach to packaging, covering technologies, tools and tips focused on application deployment. I had been preparing to discuss Powershell but, not surprisingly, my friend Darwin Sanoy of CSI-Windows has that topic well covered so I'm working right now to rewrite last years presentation to cover the need for a keynote focused on application packaging which I love talking about. I hope you can come join me!
