So, I have been slacking off on my blog…and I had so many things to blog about. Dave, Jeff and Jennifer and I are catching the same floght to Ottawa. We are stuck on the airport, there is a severe thunderstorm in Toronto now.
Yesterday we launched VS 2005, SQL 2005 & BIZTALK 2006 in Toronto. The best shot of this event is this photo (courtesy of Mark Relph). A few people who went to the San Francisco event the day after claimed our Toronto event was bigger!!
The night before the event we held a VIP reception for the key Canadian developer influencers. We had some 70 people from the community and 10-15 guys from Microsoft Canada & Redmond. It was a GREAT night; I saw our user group members exchange business cards with MVPs & experts. We definitely created a lot of connections which they can use to do their community work easier. For the pictures from this event, tune in to Rob Windsor’s blog.
So we are off to Ottawa; VIP Reception for the Ottawa community tonight and the launch event for some 1000+ developers. I just learned CraigS will be joining us as well. Wicked!!
Lastly, I received a few questions about the certification voucher all launch attendees are getting. If you are looking for it; it is in the software box you received, on the left sleeve when you open the box J
Stay tuned for updates from Ottawa VIP reception and Ottawa launch events.
