    WPC - Microsoft: Let's Grow Together

    Worldwide Partner Conference 2009 (WPC09) is delivered from New Orleans.  To keep this short, I thought the slide shown below summaries the lastest products from Microsoft really well and should be posted up on this blog. This was presented within the Keynote while Steve Ballmer was talking. You can see the Keynote delivered via Silverlight here: http://digitalwpc.com/Videos/KeynoteVideos

    NZ Microsoft TechFest 2008

    Each year during the TechEd conference comes the TechEd party known as TechFest.  TechFest is the main social event of the conference and is a great time for all IT personnel involved to gather and have a drink or two together.

    This year 2nd September 2008, from 6:30pm through 11pm at the Princes Wharf, Quay Street, the party with Opshop and dDub was hosted by Microsoft.

    It was great to catch up with a few regular and new faces in Auckland, NZ.

    Here a few photos of the I took from my camera ...

    Microsoft TechFest NZ - Las Vegas!

    Went I went along to TechFest last night at the Town Hall in Auckland, New Zealand with a number of my colleagues from Intergen (http://www.intergen.co.nz).

    The theme was Las Vegas, and the main act were Evermore.

    There were other attractions throughout the night which included the Candylane Dancers and the Acrobatic Performers. 

    It was good to catch up with a number of people. TechEd came to a close today @ SkyCity.
