Next week, Microsoft organizes the second TechEd continental event of this quarter: TechEd Europe 2013 in Madrid. With 7000 seats, chances are small this event will sell out (although I still have hopes due to the special Surface offer for attendees). Even when it sells out and you can’t attend, when you want to use your ginormous bandwidth to ...

Back from TechEd North America 2013 and almost recuperated from my jetlag (7 hours difference), some of the bits and pieces get their place and new thoughts are formed. Having seen the keynote (see it here) and the new features added in Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2, combined with knowledge I’ve blogged about earlier some new thoughts ...

After last year’s TechEd North America (Orlando) and TechEd Europe (Amsterdam), but specifically after last week’s TechEd North America (New Orleans), I’m excited to share with you that I’ve been selected to staff the Access and Information Protection booth at TechEd Europe 2013 (Madrid): I’ll be at the Access and Information Protection booth ...

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!

From Monday June 24 2013 to Friday June 28 2013, Microsoft organizes TechEd Europe at the Feria Internacional de Madrid (IFEMA) in Madrid, Spain. With a much warmer climate than Amsterdam (TechEd Europe 2012) and Berling (TechEd Europe 2009 and TechEd Europe 2010) and Microsofts convenient repositioning of this event in June, this event should be ...

Same quick summary as previous days, I was dead beat so wrote it this morning enroute to day 4.SWAG: Did a bit better with USB hub, 2 USB 4GB Sticks, and some other stuff. Oh yeah; I won a Nokia Lumia 900!!! At the Nokia booth after handing over the tile from the conference bag and clicking randomly on a screen. You can't beat that! Well, a Win8 ...

Same as yesterday's post, some quick thoughts:  Skipped Keynote. I figured that I watch it via Channel9 and get some extra rest. Good decission.  Wi-Fi: Had no real issues, sometimes darkspots or loss of connectivity during walking. In any cas not as disasterous as yesterday. Weeeh! Again some great meet-and-greets and discussions. ...

Just quick post to sum up day 1 (for me, don't mind the typing errors. I'm dead tired and typing via my iPad): Keynote: nothing earthshattering as most was the same as TechEd North America. WiFi: almost nonexistent until the end (almost a full conference day!). I know MSFT isn't directly responsible, but come on!  Azure: That stuff is ...
