  for
DESCRIPTION:It's the new year 2020 and you just deployed the last cumulativ
 e security update for Windows Server 2008. Then the cold hard reality sett
 les in - you and your team have to deal with the wild unknown of exactly h
 ow many applications are still running on this unsupported platform and co
 uld become vulnerable to future attacks and exploits. You and team are at 
 a crossroads: do you turn a blind eye and stay the course or do you bite t
 he bullet and consider application modernization?\n\nJoin us for a light h
 earted exploratory session that will include crowd sourced input on how to
  best address this opportunity. This discussion will directly benefit from
