Blogging from MGB
A lot of big Microsoft conferences are attended by, or intended for, people from outside the company — such as partners, software developers, and reporters. Not so the Microsoft Global Briefing, or MGB, as it’s known, an annual sales and internal technical event that lasts more than a week, drawing people from Microsoft offices around the world.
This year’s conference is now getting under way at Atlanta’s Georgia Dome and nearby venues. Speakers traditionally include Steve Ballmer, whose appearances at MGB have been legendary. About 15,000 Microsoft employees are expected to attend this year, but you probably won’t see any mainstream news reports from inside, because it’s an internal event, no reporters allowed.
However, a few Microsoft employees are writing about the event on their weblogs — not disclosing any secrets but giving a sense for the flavor of what’s happening. Here are some of their posts so far.
