In nature, change is inevitable. In IT, you cannot accept change, you\u2019re pushed aside. Business pressure, security &amp; compliance needs, and the speed of cloud make change happen faster than ever. And that\u2019s why we had 20 expert-lead breakout sessions covering Azure IaaS, Azure PaaS, productivity, security, management &amp; governance, Windows Server 2019 and hybrid cloud solutions. The conference ended with renowned Microsoft-watchers Mary Jo Foley and Paul Thurrott discussing what the corporation has been up to and their experiences in covering the Redmond giant.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px currentcolor; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; float: none; display: block; background-image: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/DpydF4uXcAAaJCj.jpg\" width=\"560\" height=\"447\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We had a lot of fun yesterday.
