About the Conference
We invite you to join us for a day of developer-oriented technical sessions featuring the Microsoft® ESP™ visual simulation software development platform. Microsoft® ESP™ brings immersive Microsoft games-based technology to training, learning and decision support for commercial, government and academic organizations. Come and learn how ESP’s all-in-one simulation platform, consisting of a simulation engine, development tools and rich content, can help you quickly build affordable, extensible, high-quality simulation solutions that can tie in with external solutions and integrate with industry standard input/output devices and database-driven content. You will also learn about the Microsoft ESP SDK that consists of four primary systems, some of which contain their own additional SDKs for specific topics:

Programming System
Terrain and Scenery System
Mission System
Object Modeling System

The sessions will allow you to:

Experience the development of richer solutions more quickly and focus on content that's specific to your solution by starting from the rich base world content that comes with ESP.
Design using the platform's model of planet Earth, built-in physics and AI engines, numerous aircraft types, scenery and terrain, and a fully-configurable weather system.
Achieve "you are there" realism with highly-detailed terrain and seascapes in all seasons, active wildlife, real-world motion, realistic night skies, continuous time of day, accurate vector data and buildings, 5.1 multi-channel surround sound, and much more.

These sessions will target Developers, Architects, Technical Managers and Web Designers and be very demonstration oriented. They will be delivered by seasoned developers with experience in commercial and Public Sector marketplaces. Seize this opportunity to immerse yourself in this exciting new technology!

Who Should Attend
Developers, Architects, Web Designers and technical managers who wish to get a good understanding of the next advancement in Software Development.
