Thank you for taking the time to do this. With limited training dollars it helps me answer the inevitable question "what are other district doing" and look at options. The question I wish I would have asked is "withing reason, if you had the time and money available, what conference/training would you LIKE to attend"
 * //My //** observations are (your mileage may vary):
 * If you district sets aside money for training, you don't know about it.
 * The majority of outside education come from the TIES conferences, but only a few of you listed them as the "best" conference you've been to.
 * MMS, Brainstorm and vendor supplied training were a close second
 * A few of you indicated that you did not attend any local conferences or training.
 * <span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif;">Only two have been to a national conference recently
 * <span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif;">As is always the case in education, time and money are a roadblock to getting the training/education we need to do our jobs.

<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif;">Thanks again.

JayD_Osseo - 7-19-13 MSFT TechEd North America June 4, 2013 session about Orchestrator (I have not viewed the entire session but looks like a good overview of Orchestrator and Integration Packs. Early in the video they mention a new book that they worked on - //System Center 2012 Orchestrator Unleashed.// We have another "unleashed" book we really like. Here is the video: [|http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechEd/NorthAmerica/2013/MDC-B204?mtag=EmlLiveStreamITPro053013SystemCtrSes&WT.mc_id=EmlLiveStreamITProSystemCenter#fbid=KJYYrTxdiWa]
