Microsoft has a strategy to help IT professionals accelerate their career path, narrow the existing skills gap, and prepare them for new opportunities.

The day will begin with a live, interactive panel discussion with IT managers and industry experts who will discuss how the cloud is redefining IT recruitment and the growing need for up-to-date certification.
