Can you believe it? Worldwide Partner Conference 2012 (WPC12) is just around the corner. Woohoo! And today marks a great milestone on the journey towards Worldwide Partner Conference 2012: The opening of registration. I say it every year and I’ll say it again, Worldwide Partner Conference is by far my favorite of all of our events each year. It is that one time a year to be able to get together with partners from all across the world and catch up face-to-face, hear about what’s on their mind, meet so many new partners in person that I have not before, and so much more.

This means that today is your chance to get in and register for your spot to join us for what is bound to be the biggest and best Worldwide Partner Conference we have had, ever! Plus, this year we will be up in Toronto, Canada for Worldwide Partner Conference 2012, so it will be a new experience for many of the attendees joining us.

Last year was another year of connecting with fantastic people at WPC11 and I look forward to connecting with you again (or for the first time) in Toronto this year for Worldwide Partner Conference 2012! I am planning on doing another collection of photos with attendees at Worldwide Partner Conference 2012 like I did last year, so if you are interested in being a part of it, please let me know. Plus, with the fantastic world of social media, sometimes it almost becomes a fun game of cyber-stalker/Where’s Waldo as people try to find me throughout the conference. 
It’s all fun and I just love being able to connect with all of you while there.
Now, after 10:00 am PST, head on out to the Worldwide Partner Conference 2012 Registration page and get your registration in and claim your $300 Early Bird Discount. Then, get working on your Worldwide Partner Conference 2012 Award Nominations so that you can be a part of the excitement!
