TechEd New Orleans – June 2010
I visited the premier Microsoft conference last month and now with a few weeks of reflection, I can finally put something together. The TechEd buzz started early for me as I was selected as a Technical Learning Guide (TLG). This role meant that I had to assist attendees using the Hands on Labs. As well as helping to troubleshoot any lab issues; I also gave advice and guidance on how they could use the technology in their environments. I was responsible for the Windows Client section.
When I wasn’t working, I had the opportunity to attend sessions where I saw some of the most influential speakers within the Microsoft community. You can actually see all the sessions online for free at: http://www.microsoft.com/techedonline/
The evenings were fantastic, too! In addition to the Partner Expo party; different components of Microsoft organised and held their own party including the MCT community, the Springboard series, Virtualization and so on. TechEd ended with a bang with a HUGE party at Mardi Gras world where you could enjoy food, music and entertainment while surrounded by the huge floats that are used at the annual festival.
In essence, the week was a complete technology fest with ample opportunity to network with the global IT community.
Next stop…..MCT Summit in York!
