I had the great pleasure of chatting with my old friend, Roberto Bamberger, late last week.  Roberto manages all of our public sector briefings at our Executive Briefing Centre at our Redmond campus.  In a past life, Roberto has also been a Solutions Architect, so he is well versed on all manner of technologies and public sector business issues, so one of the things I asked him to drill into were just what were the trends he was seeing in demand for topics.

 Some of the topics that our public sector customers are starting to request are not what you might expect...how does Microsoft do Talent Management, Outsourcing, manage a datacentre, etc.

Some of the more exciting things that Roberto has agreed to do for me is to identify the hot topics for public sector, and the hot speakers on those topics so that I can get these folks to commit their thoughts to virtual celluloid!  He has also committed to provide me with some of the presentations that are used for everyone to see.  So I guess solshare.net will end up hosting a kind of 'Virtual EBC'.
