Tech-Ed 2008: twice the fun under the Florida sun

By David Worthington

May 15, 2008 — Starting on June 3, more than 15,000 Microsoft aficionados will converge on Orlando, Fla., for this year’s Tech-Ed conference, which has been split up into two tracks: one for developers and one for IT professionals.

Tech-Ed 2008’s Developers’ curriculum consists of 16 technical tracks with over 615 breakout sessions, in addition to hands-on labs and other events. Pre-conference seminars are being held on June 2, while the conference itself runs from June 3 to 6. Microsoft anticipates that 5,000 developers will attend the show. Outgoing chairman Bill Gates will be delivering his final Tech-Ed address as chairman of Microsoft.

The generalized IT Professionals portion of the conference runs from June 10 to 13. Microsoft forecasts that 10,000 IT professionals will attend. Both conferences will be held at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla.

Discounted travel and early registration rates are available through the Tech-Ed Web site, and full descriptions of the conferences’ agendas are published online. The information in this article is derived from the conferences’ Web site.
