Going to TechEd 2005

Published 13 March 05 10:55 PM | jld

I just learned that I'm going to TechEd 2005! I'll be participating at the author's booth and hopefully at some of the Cabanas. I've now subscribed to the TechEdBloggers website - I'm planning to post detailed information and photos from the event. It's my first time in Florida so it should be fun.

This past week, I've been at the Microsoft Book Publisher's Summit in Redmond. The "endurance" portion of the final day of the events included a series of draws which included amazing prizes (including free admission to TechEd). I was the first business card picked out of the basket!

During my stay I've met a host of illustrious authors including Ted Neward, Joe Mayo, John Wildermuth (The ADO Guy), Jeffrey Richter... I also met Mark Dunn, one of the architects of Dot Net Rocks!

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Jan, all the Microsoft staff and the publishers for putting on a great Summit. A very special thanks goes out to Noah, Connie and Erik for taking time in their busy schedules to spend time with me.

I'm glad you were able to win since I flew home early...Clearly that helped your chances of winning!

Glad we got a chance to talk at the summit!

Congratulations, Jean-Luc!

I'll see you there! We'll see if they have any conveyor-belt sushi establishments nearby... :)
