Speaker Bio:

About Kevin Remde and "Full of I.T.": Kevin Remde is an IT Pro Evangelist, which is a fancy title that just means “a guy who geeks-out about information technology and how software can improve business and home life; and isn’t afraid to tell people about it in whatever way he can”.  When he’s not learning about or blogging about new technologies, Kevin enjoys digital photography and videography, and sings in a band.  (Q: Midlife crisis?  A: More cowbell!)  He continues to challenge his TechNet Event audiences throughout the central region of the country to sing Karaoke with him.

"Full of I.T." is just one of the ways shares his findings, insights, and twisted rants with the IT Pro community.
