The event opens at 5pm for informal networking.  Microsoft events normally sell out so book now to avoid disappointment.

IT Academy early bird session 

We would like to invite FE/HE institutions that are interested in joining the Microsoft IT Academy program and educators to attend a special "early bird" session which will allow an exclusive insight from Microsoft on the future development of the IT Academy program.
