THEY’RE BACK!

You’re in luck! If you’re attending Tech•Ed 2004, you’ll be pleased to know the top speakers from last year will be back in front of you this year.  Matt Nunn, the Data Management Track Owner, signed Kimberly Tripp up to speak again this year, and she’s delivering a mere 6 sessions and a PreCon!   Another show favorite making a return to the Tech•Ed stage is Steve Riley.  He’ll be making 8 appearances over the course of the week and co-presenting a PreCon on Sunday.  John Ballard will speak on BizTalk Server, Kevin Collins presents on SQL Server CE and joins Don Box in the Mobile PC and Devices General Session and Maxwell Myrick will talk about MDAC.

 

WHY FILL OUT EVALS?

Because we take eval scores seriously in giving speakers feedback on their sessions and choosing which content will continue on to future events like the International TechEds.  I pull data on eval scores every night and give track owners like Matt Nunn, Brian Goldfarb and Ali Parker feedback on what is hitting the mark with the audience and what is not.  This year all evals will be online on CommNet.  The CommNet kiosks will be located in the center of the community lounge area and between all the breakout rooms (in the oh so airy Sails Pavilion).
