I'm responsible for Configuration Management at my enterprise, involving application configuration and deployment, MDM, Microsoft and 3rd party patching/updating, client security, etc.

Would anyone be interested in setting a meetup during TechEd?  Maybe during lunch or something?  Would like to start forming some networking to find out what everyone else is doing, successes and failures, etc.

Hey,  might be down at TechEd on my own, so would be great to hang out with any fellow Calgarians in the evenings, sounds like theres a lot to see and do in New Orleans. Give me a shout if you are going, and maybe we can meetup for a coffee downtown one day before we go.  Thanks!

That the keynote is going to include some content on what's coming in the Windows 8.1 update.  We've also been told that 8.1 will be officially announced (or at least the preview) at the Build conference later in the month.  My question...are we going to get any content in the sessions on Windows 8.1 (or the corresponding Server 2012 update release)?  It would be extremely disappointing to go to TechEd only to miss out on all of the new content because TechEd came a couple weeks earlier than Build.

I look forward to attending TechEd every year - lots of good sessions!

Always interested in where the next years will be.

This is my 20th!  I missed the first one in Orlando, but have been to every one since.

Orlando wins for hosting the most - 7 (93, 97, 00, 05, 07, 08, 12)

New Orleans is second at 6 (94, 95, 98, 02, 10, 13)

LA - twice (96, 09)

Dallas - twice (99, 03)

Atlanta - twice (01, 11)

San Diego - 04

Boston - 06

Interesting to see how it has changed over the years - anyone remember the first couple years where you got the "Telephone books" with the PowerPoint's from ALL the sessions printed out!

A variety of bag styles over the years.

It was interesting to walk by the "museum" at the 20th anniversary last year - looked a lot like my closet with all the old bags and conference t shirts - LOL.

IMO one of the best additions was the hands on labs area.

Quality of food varies - but I believe that is more on the hosting facility.

One thing is always constant - lots of walking!

Traveling solo...just looking for other folks to possibly hang out with. I tried to get my buddy from work to go, but mgmt didn't like the idea of "both IT guys" being gone for a week. Smiley

Any Pacific IT Pros out there? Anyone in #thekrewe from the bay area?

To follow up on the FitBit thread - I'm staying at the JW, and I know there's a couple good CrossFit boxes in NOLA, but taking a cab every day can get pricey.  If anyone's looking to share a cab for an early class, I'd be interested in hooking up.

Further, if anyone would be interested in a running partner, I'd be interested in doing 3-7 miles a few times, at probably an 8:30-9:30 min/mile pace, depending on the distance.

Due to some rather strange circumstances, we will be flying in to Atlanta, and driving a rental from there to New Orleans.

We have 2 days to complete the drive, and really want to experience the southern USA on this road trip.

Any suggestions on great sights, routes, things to do or places to visit along the way? All suggestions are welcome.

Feel free to join one or both. I'm interested to see how many steps we can accumulate that week in NOLA as we wander around that behemoth of a convention center.  

I tried adding the links to the groups here but the forum rejects them as spam, so stop by my website and get the links there to join the groups:

Here are the direct links:

I figured out the trick to the spam issue. After I paste the link, I had to remove the HTML link markup that is automatically added, then the site makes the link on its own. That's not very intuitive...

I have not been to TechEd the last 5 years. I remember in the past MS recorded all the breakout sessions and sent out DVDs to us about a month later. This is helpful if I forgot something or some sessions I could not attend. I've been to the others Tech conference where they recorded and put everything online later.

Do you know something like this will be available for all TechED attendees?

I am really hoping that Microsoft presents super aggressive offers for the Microsoft Surface RT... Considering the sales have not been "through the roof", they would do well to get these devices in the hands of trusted advisors and decision makers. The cost of the units has been speculated to be approximately 250.00. I would be very comfortable paying 100.00 for one so I can see the true value for my customers. I already have had to find innovative ways to get so many of the other devices to be prepared to help my clients. As a small company, I can't afford to buy the latest unit at retail price. Please Microsoft, take the example of Intel who provides extremely aggressive prices on demo product (not as much these days.. but they still try). Given that they did offer the Surface for 100.00, MS would be subsidizing the 150.00 for the true cost. Given roughly 10,0000 influential IT Users will be at Tech Ed, it seems that a 1,500,0000 investment in the product line would be an easy business decision. Personally I already invested in getting a Samsung i5 tablet.... but want to see the RT is in the real world

So when I go to TechEd, will I be "wow'ed" by all the cool new things Microsoft has planned for RT, new apps, configuration management, etc?  Or will I walk away thinking my co-workers are right and RT is a dud?
