14 DAY TRIAL // Tomorrow by this time I will be waiting to board a plane that will take me to Berlin where Microsoft is hosting TechEd Europe 2010.
The conference is scheduled to debut this Monday, November 8th, and Softpedia will be on site to cover the event.
Some of you might already be familiar with TechEd, and know the span of this conference as well as the topics that the software giant focuses on.
In this regard, nothing really changed compared to the past years. TechEd continues to be an event dedicated to IT professionals ahead of anything else.
Here’s Microsoft description of the conference: “Tech•Ed is Microsoft’s premier technical education event providing the most comprehensive technical training on Microsoft’s suite of products, technologies, solutions and services.
“If you are a technology professional involved in building, deploying or maintaining IT solutions using Microsoft technologies, Tech•Ed is the conference that will help you solve today's real-world challenges and prepare you for tomorrow's innovations.”
I have my schedule ready, and I’ll meet with a range of Microsoft employees, including some heavyweights.
So I thought I’d offer you a chance to send over some questions for Microsoft, and I’ll do my best to squeeze them in with my questions.
While it would be best that these questions be more technical or business related than, say end user matters, this should be viewed as more of a guideline than a restriction.
So by all means, ask away! Windows 7, Windows Server, Windows Azure, the Cloud, Office, Lync, Windows Phone, deployment, customization, best practices, licensing, etc. there are just some suggestions of topics for you to consider.
You can always visit the TechEd website and check out the content posted there for ideas on additional questions.
The Redmond company offered some reasons to attend:
“Tech•Ed attendees get deep, technical content, hands-on learning experiences, and opportunities to connect with industry and Microsoft experts one-on-one. Tech•Ed is the conference that will help you solve today's real-world IT challenges and prepare for tomorrow's innovations.
