Tech.Ed 2008... what a week!

jkruse — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 07:54:00 GMT

Tech.Ed 2008 has finally wrapped up... I was in Auckland for Tech.Ed NZ on Monday and Tuesday, and then in Sydney for Tech.Ed Australia from Wednesday to Friday.

It was a hectic and somewhat exhausting week as I was the track/content owner for Unified Communications and Mobility, and I also presented or co-presented 9 sessions. But more importantly it was a fun week... I met literally hundreds of my peers and associates in the local technology industry, we launched a local Sydney UC community, we had a great party on Thursday night, and the vibe of the whole event was simply amazing!

Here are some photos and videos from Sydney....

Sydney UC community to launch at Tech.Ed 2008

jkruse — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 11:32:00 GMT

At Tech.Ed next week we're launching a new community for Unified Comms in Sydney - Sydney UC!

If you work in, are passionate about, or just enjoy Exchange, OCS, VoIP, video, or comms in general - this is the place for you to network with your peers, learn from the experts, see the technologies and roadmaps, and of course have fun.

The group will be driven by several well-known experts in the industry including: Derrick Buckley (OCS MVP, owner of SWIUG), Craig Pringle (MVP) James McCutcheon (MVP), and Dr. Neil (MVP, Microsoft Regional Director).

We'll be kicking off Sydney UC at lunchtime on Thursday at Tech.Ed, and of course will be available via LiveMeeting for those who can't attend in person.

Come and join us!
