TechEd 2008: Windows Server track progress

With TechEd Australia 2008 getting closer and closer we’ve been busy with track planning to make sure you have thetechedoz1 best possible experience at this year’s event.  Right now I’ve locked in about 80% of my sessions with speakers so things are moving along quite well.  So in my previous post I asked you what you would like to see and for feedback on some of the sessions we were thinking of.  One thing that came out loud and clear was you want to  see more Hyper-V sessions.  Well we listened and we have 2 sessions confirmed on Hyper-V with a third hopefully getting confirmed soon. So below is the current list.  As always please let me know your feedback.  And don’t forget to register.  There is still time to get an early bird registration as we have extended this to July 11th.

So that’s the 23 sessions as it stands right now?  What do you think?  Let me know if you see something missing that we really need in there.

Also there was a question around a session on Group Policy Preferences and whether there was going to be a session on that in the Server Track.  Since this affects the client this session will be sitting in the Client and Management track.  So it’s there…just not in my track.
