Robert deLuca and Dean Wells are organizing another Customer-Focused Design (CFD) session for TEC Europe. The CFD session they ran at TEC Europe last year was by far and away the most popular event at the conference, and I’m really excited that we get to have them do it again. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the idea, CFD is a structured process for generating and prioritizing software requirements. In this case, Dean and Robert will lead you through a process of developing requirements for the next version of Active Directory and its related technologies. I expect that a lot of the discussion will be around the connection between Active Directory and the cloud, but even so, I’m sure there will be a lot of features discussed for on-premises AD as well.

Want to see your name up in lights? Want to make yourself known in the industry? Have you done things with (or to) Microsoft Identity and Access technologies that most people haven’t? Then you should submit a session for The Experts Conference/Directory and Identity right away! You can submit your proposal at the TEC website. If you have any questions, or you only have vague idea of what you might want to speak about, you can just ping me through my blog and we can sort it out.
