This post announces the Call for Speakers for the Integration Track at TUGA IT 2017, inviting the Microsoft and open‑source integration community to submit sessions covering BizTalk, Azure Integration Services, Logic Apps, API Management, Service Bus, IoT, and related topics.
There are already several sessions submitted to the event, but I encourage everyone, whether they are MVPs, Microsoft product group, or community member enthusiasts, who want to talk about the following topics:
- BizTalk Server 2016: new capabilities, open-source tools or frameworks, …
- Logic Apps and Enterprise Integration Pack
- Building reliable and scalable cloud messaging and hybrid integration solutions with Service Bus
- Event Hubs
- IoT
- API Management
- Hybrid Integration using BizTalk Server and Logic Apps, or connecting to on-prem resources using the On-Premise Gateway
- Microsoft Flow
Or other related Integration topics, to submit a session on the TUGA IT 2017 Integration track, everyone can have a shot to speaking at one of the best IT conferences in Portugal.
The TUGA IT 2017 organization is preparing a lot of new content for this second edition, but it is still too early to make announcements. Stay tuned!
