Surface – in Australia
Well TechEd Australia has started with the pre-conference day – and all the speakers are congregating in the speaker room with white coats on. They’ve given out Lab coats for MVP’s and speakers at the Ask the Experts and it looks like a University Science Lab in the exhibition hall.
I had a walk round the Conference centre and I’m really amazed at how much this place feels like a close community – much more than any of the other TechEd’s that I’ve been to – similar to TechEd NZ actually – but not like TechEd US or EMEA at all. Much more “intimate”, more friendly somehow.
This picture made me smile though. This is one of the surface devices that they’ve managed to get into Australia – they’re the only 2 Surface devices outside of the US.
And I couldn’t get anywhere near either of them. The people you see playing with Surface are the set up crew, the vendors, partners, everyone was shoving in trying to have a go – which is why the photo is a little blurry :-)
I’ll try and get my hands on to have another go later on – if I can get anywhere close to it…
