Wow! In Europe, Integration will be on fire in May, not only will we have TUGA IT, but also INTEGRATE 2016 (but I leave this last event for another post).
Tuga IT 2016 it’s a FREE event (Saturday, 21), that will count with the collaboration of different Portuguese technical communities and Microsoft MVP’s (myself included), targeting not only Integration (BizTalk Server, App Services (Logic Apps and API Apps), EventHubs, Service Bus, IoT, …), but also Microsoft Data Platform, SharePoint, Office365, Azure and much more, that will be held on from 19 to 21 of May at Microsoft Portugal in Lisbon.
We also have the first two days (19th and 20th of May) full of amazing workshops; however, you can register for a small cost (this happens mainly to support the cost of event organization, such as this).
I will announce soon the Integration sessions that will be at the event, but for now, I’m thrilled to announce that one of these workshops will be about Enterprise Integration, lectured by not one, but 3 Azure MVPs: Steef-Jan Wiggers, Nino Crudele, and me!

The workshop will be on Friday, the 20th of May.
