Just got a note from The Experts Conference organizers that my session on Azure and identity management got into the agenda.

Active Directory, User Identity and Azure/BPOS for IT Professionals

In this session we will dive into identity management, federation and sign-on process for Windows Azure and Microsoft’s BPOS products such as Exchange Online and SharePoint Online. How do you set up federation between your existing Active Directory and these “cloud” applications? Which options do you have? How does authentication actually happen? How much of the infrastructure and management effort can be shared across these applications and how much is application-specific?

Speaker

Dmitry Sotnikov is a PowerShell MVP, regular blogger (http://dmitrysotnikov.wordpress.com and http://cloudenterprise.info), and a presenter at various events. Being in charge of Quest’s Technology Research he has already made the company an industry leader in Migration, SharePoint and PowerShell space, and is now leading it into the cloud computing era.

The event is in Las Vegas March 22-25. My session is on Monday.

I’ve blogged about TEC before – this is really one of my favorite event since the days it was called DEC. Highly recommended if you are looking for technology deep dive sessions (as opposed to product pitches which unfortunately take up most of most of conferences these days).
