I’ve gotta give props to Warren Wilbee and the ISV guys for putting on a terrific party last night. Called “Devs After Dark,” it really was a great time – they organizers really understood what we needed at a conference party. It wasn’t heavily advertised; essentially, it was a word of mouth deal.
There were several XBox stations, lots of bars without waits, some fairly small rooms for chats. We could hear each other talk, have interesting conversations. And, without being elitist, it was more or less the more committed strata of attendees – MVPs, RDs, Microsoft PMs, team leads, MVP leads, partners… great fun!
We need more parties just like this. Well done, Warren and crew!
