Free-as-in-beer Technet Virtual Conference

Andrew’s blog post gives the details:

  • Windows 7 – Deployment and Management
  • Windows Server 2008 R2 - 10 things to make life easier for IT Pros
  • An overview of Office Communications Server R2 and voice capabilities
  • The trials and tribulations of SharePoint implementation

“The full agenda is here.

In addition to these technical TechNet sessions there’s a special track for IT managers:

  • How IT will change over the next 10 years and why you should care - an exclusive session delivered at TechEd EMEA
  • Growing the Business and Managing Costs at Microsoft – An Insider’s View, presented by Asif Jinnah, IT Manager, Microsoft UK

and because it’s virtual we have virtually included Mark Russinovich to do the keynote – Mark is a Microsoft Technical Fellow specializing in the Windows platform and the top speaker at TechEd EMEA last year so well worth watching.

We do still need you to register.

..In the days of real TechNet road shows you would get a goody bag for turning up so for this virtual conference, the first 500 to register will sent a rather better goody bag (even the bag looks pretty good) which I understand has coffee and bikkies in.”

NOTE to non-britophiles – when andrew says “bikkies” he means coookies….

and they must be perishable, cause the fine print says (emphasis added for non UK-residers) "This draw is open to any person resident in the UK who is 18 years of age or older at the time of entry."
