<p><a href="https://partner.microsoft.com/inspire" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Microsoft Inspire</a> is less than a week away. I hope you are as excited as we all are. It promises to be an incredible week of learning, networking, and celebrating partnership.</p>
<p>In the remaining days before you leave for Las Vegas, Nevada we suggest you double check your travel arrangements. It’s also a good time to review your personal conference agenda in <a href="https://myinspire.microsoft.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MyInspire</a> and confirm that you’ve added the sessions you want to attend by using the <a href="https://myinspire.microsoft.com/sessions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">session scheduler</a>. We also recommend using the MyInspire <a href="https://myinspire.microsoft.com/meetings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">meeting scheduler</a> to send meeting requests to other partners or Microsoft employees with whom you most want to connect. There will be over 16,000 attendees at Microsoft Inspire, all with busy schedules, so advance planning is the best way to ensure you don’t miss anyone.</p>
<p>Here are some additional tips and reminders to help you have a productive and enjoyable Microsoft Inspire experience.</p>
