This year’s annual DogFood Conference is going to be held on September 29th & 30th (Mon – Tue) at the Quest Conference Center. The Quest Conference Center is located at 8505 Pulsar Place, Columbus, OH 43240.
The Dog Food Conference was founded in 2008, held at the Microsoft and DeVry University building in Columbus, Ohio. It has grown each year; and it is organized by community driven volunteers. Thanks to 25 IT partners sponsoring in 2012; there was no cost for attendees. The goal was to have a Microsoft centric conference in Ohio; and empower the region on their current MS investments. Attendees come from Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. In 2013, there was around 580attendees over 2 days, choosing over 96 topics.
