A while ago, I received a mail from TechEd. In it, the TechEd North America Staff Communications team congratulated me with being selected to participate as product subject matter expert, learning guide or ambassador at TechEd North America 2013!

For last year’s TechEd North America in Orlando, I also was selected for this role and could be found at the booth labeled Active Directory / Dynamic Access Control for most of the opening hours of the TechExpo.

This year, the booth is relabeled to Access and Information Protection.

I will be there for most of the opening hours of the TechExpo, not just the hours I’m scheduled to be there. The reason for what sounds like sheer dedication (ahum) is pretty logical, though. Staffing the booth of your main interest at an event like TechEd is one of the most rewarding activities for the loads of feedback on both the technology and this blog, interaction with Microsoft PMs and the endless ability to practice answering questions like “What’s Dynamic Access Control?” quickly. These activities allow me to build inspiring, up to date and relevant presentations and demos.

I’ll be at the Access and Information Protection booth at:

• Monday, June 3 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM
• Tuesday, June 4 12:15 PM – 2:30 PM
• Thursday, June 6, 10:45 PM – 12:45 PM

Also, you can find me at the Ask The Experts evening event on Tuesday, June 4 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM. This event is designed to give TechEd attendees the opportunity to interact directly with product group members and other experts in a more informal setting. The goal of the evening is to allow for a free flow of questions and answers between attendees and speakers and other experts.

When you’re also attending TechEd North America 2013, drop by the booth and come say “Hi!”.
