MICROSOFT'S FUTURE STRATEGIES FOR DEVICES

Get updated on Microsoft’s new Platform Strategies and new relationship with Nokia? Microsoft is changing the GAME and providing new opportunities for partners and developers!

Meet Ryan Storgaard, Director of Technical Evangelism, Microsoft Canada. His business acumen, drive and enticing optimism earned him the prestigious Microsoft Chairman’s Award, presented by Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer. He also earned the highly regarded Microsoft Circle of Excellence Award.

Ryan Storgaard will talk about Microsoft’s strategy and approach to Windows Phone and the opportunity it offers to app and game developers. Windows Phone 7.5 is Microsoft’s latest release and it continues to gamer rave reviews from customers and critics as it edges its way into a crowded and complicated mobile marketplace. With over 30, 000 appls in the marketplace, a significant global partnership with Nokia, integration with Xbox Live and Microsoft Office, and a truly innovative approach to weaving appls, tasks and experiences together into Live Tiles and Hubs, Windows Phone is truly a fresh and innovative platform for consumers and developers. In fact, by 2015, IDC and Gartner expect Windows Phone to be the number two operating system worldwide behind android. Ryan is available for Q&A and discussions afterward on other hot topics such as Microsoft’s cloud strategy, HTML5, and Windows.
