MMS runs twice a year with the main event in May at the Mall of America in Minnesota. That event is capped to 750 attendees and speakers. That cap keeps the conference from becoming too big. Overflow pressure is relieved by offering a smaller 3-day event in the fall where attendance is generally around 350 attendees and speakers.

We focus on technical training across systems management areas (with a heavy focus on Microsoft), current and upcoming releases, new features and technological trends, and the real-world challenges to success. Attendees come from all over the world and all sorts of sizes of companies.
