2nd Annual Microsoft Global High Tech Summit
On behalf of Microsoft's High Tech & Electronics Industry Team, I welcome you to our web site that summarizes the learning that came from our 2nd Annual Microsoft Global High Tech Summit. The Microsoft Global High Tech Summit is a one-day event held in Silicon Valley in October that brought together over 350 senior executives from high tech and electronics companies around the world to discuss the issues driving the industry and to learn from their peer executives about how they are improving their business performance and solving industry challenges through the use of solutions from Microsoft and its partners.
Here is what our attendees said about the 2nd Annual Microsoft Global High Tech Summit:
| • | "Excellent Summit. Well organized. Good speakers, it was time well spent. Thank you Microsoft. It was much better than last year. The bar has been raised for the next year." |
| • | "Excellent summit, excellent theme, excellent speakers." |
| • | "The summit was great – met my expectations. Breakout sessions were relevant too. Will be back again next year!!" |
| • | "Great conference. Excellent Content. Great Messaging." |
