If you're a Microsoft Partner and sell Office 365 the place to be next week is in Redmond. The Office 365 Ignite Plus training and launch event will be held on the Microsoft campus with three tracks of sessions for technical and sales readiness.
If you haven't already, check out the event here. Registration may still be open, I'm not sure. They did say they had limited spots available. The dates are January 22 – 24, 2013. The event is free (unless you cancel) but you do have to get there and find somewhere to stay.
