This is my first blog post ever. D'Arcy convinced me that I should start a blog to talk about all the good times at Tech-Ed. So here we go.
I'm headed down to Boston for Tech-Ed 2006 in a couple days. Should be a great time. This is my first Tech-Ed and I've been looking through the list of sessions available and it's pretty overwhelming. Out of the 700 or sessions available, I picked out about 50 or so I might be interested in attending. I'll probably only have time for about a dozen or so, so I still have to filter some out, but I figure I'll just decide at the last minute what I'm interested in seeing/learning at that moment. To give you an idea of the type of stuff I'm interested in seeing, below is my schedule as it stands right now.
What I'm really looking forward to is all the contacts I'm hoping to make in the tech industry. D'Arcy gave me the names of a few INETA guys I should look up while I'm down there. My buddy from EDS is also heading down, and Joel from Imaginets. So I can probably meet a few people through them also, Joel especially, that guy knows everybody.
