I have to say I do work for a good company.  I work on a small team that deals primarily with Microsoft solutions.  We put in a lot of time learning how to make Microsoft stuff go and part of that effort involves taking in the occasional convention.  This year my boss let me pick a convention and the lucky winner was TechEd Europe 2014.    Off we went to Barcelona.

If you don’t know what TechEd is think of a gathering of some of the best and brightest presenters in the world speaking on topics specifically in their areas of expertise.  Add to that hands-on labs, instructor-led labs and vendors showing off their latest kit.  It can be a bit overwhelming at times but the volume and quality of what one learns is substantial.  It’s also quite re-energizing.

In the next few posts I’m going to recount some of the highlights of a couple of the sessions I attended.  Good stuff.  Useful stuff.
