The session I\u2019m doing is a new one called &#8220;Solving the Azure Storage Maze&#8221;. Azure storage offers a confusing variety of storage options, and figuring out up from down can be mind boggling. My plan is to make this easy for people, boiling it down to a few simple questions\/choices.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/cloudmechanix.us17.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=16d6bdab95199ed92d90a6499&amp;id=d82ea75ca0&amp;e=b65b9aed7d\">European SharePoint, Office 365, Azure Conference Copenhagen, Denmark &#8211; November 26-29<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>This event is pretty big, but historically it\u2019s been a SharePoint thing so those outside of that community don\u2019t know of it.

I did not apply for any speaking positions. Speaking at Ignite is a buzz, but I do lots of speaking. The obligations of that are required of speakers in the expo hall are too much for my liking. I\u2019d rather be a normal attendee that makes the most of the Monday-Thursday content. This year, I will be doing lots of Azure, but I\u2019ll also be trying to catch up on Windows Server.
