I’ve made it to the Gold Coast (Queensland, Australia) for TechEd 2007. Just back from the opening party where I caught up with a bunch of people.
My initial thoughts:
- A great start to the event
- The Technology Showcase is by far the best booth (I spent half the night there)
- Having the Technology Showcase at the same location as the bull riding was unfortunate (because the bloke MCing the bull riding was way too loud :-( )
- There was stacks of high quality food
- I met a heap of new people (by wandering up to tables and sitting with complete strangers and even jumping into taxis with other delegates -they’ve all been friendly :-)
But, in summary, here’s the view from my hotel window:
Here’s the bloke who made it all happen this year (Andrew is on the right)
And here’s a shot of some bloke about to fall off a mechanical bull
More to come…
