Participate in TechEd Without Leaving Home
I’m not at TechEd North America, which starts today in Atlanta, but that doesn't mean I (or more importantly you) have to miss out on the event. There are two great opportunities to experience and even participate in TechEd from afar (yes, even in your pajamas!)
Register for reminders for Taste of TechEd, a sampling of TechEd presentations streamed LIVE throughout the week.- including the keynote (today at 9 a.m. ET) and eighteen of the technical sessions.
Tap into the Birds of a Feather (BOF) Sessions – not only via live broadcast but by submitting your own questions and comments to the session participants via Twitter. There are 34 BOF sessions scheduled, and anyone can provide input by simply including the appropriate hashtag in the tweet:
Be sure to watch the blog and follow @techedbof for more information and up-to-the-minute updates on the BOF sessions. And you can search for the BOF sessions on the TechEd site (use the Session Type filter on the right sidebar), or consult the chart below, which was handily crafted via the OData feed.
