TechEd Schedule

I’ll be in Orlando next week attending TechEd 2008 for IT Professionals, the second half of Microsoft’s big technical conference. It was split this year into a developers’ conference, running this week, and an IT professionals’ conference that is slated for next week. Today I took some time to fill out my TechEd conference schedule and thought I’d share it here.

Here’s my conference schedule:

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend any sessions on Friday, June 13, as I’ll be returning from Orlando early that morning. Bummer!

If any readers are going to be at TechEd this year, please look me up. I’d love to have a chat. In addition, if anyone has any specific information they’d like me to try to find, feel free to let me know in the comments. I’ll do what I can!

    I’ll be working some sort of “Windows Server Infratructure” or Active Directory booth in the “Technical Learning Center” most of the week. Say hello if you stumble upon it and I’m there.

    Brian,

    I’ll try to look you up. Are there any other sessions you’d recommend that I try to attend?

    Scott – I’m going to TechEd also and it looks like we may be at some of the same sessions. I haven’t finalized all my sessions but I should be at the LUN61. Hope to see you there.

    Andy,

    Excellent! Perhaps we’ll run into each other. I’ll keep an eye out for you.

    Scott,

    Have fun at TechEd. Looking forward to your posts about the sessions – I will be attending vicariously through you .. no pressure! ;)

    Rich,

    I’ll try to make my posts worthwhile, then!

    Scott – I think I’ll be at VIR367 – Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V: Security and Best Practices. I’ll be the guy in the red polo (with a Microsoft backpack).

    Andy,

    I must have missed you, then. I was at the VIR366/367 session this morning with Jeff Woolsey, but skipped the afternoon version after Jeff advised me that the content was much the same as the morning session. Have a look for me tomorrow–I think I’ll be wearing my bright lime green Double-Take T-shirt and khaki shorts. Hope to see you there!

    Scott, this might seem like an odd question but would you happen to have any business cards from the VMWare representatives that were at the TechEd Conference? I need to follow up on a question I had. Unfortunatly I lost the guys card. I assume any email will do and then I can describe who I spoke with. If you can help, Thanks! If not…thanks anyhow ; )

    Will,

    Unfortunately, I don’t. Sorry!
