This morning Microsoft started the Tech·Ed 2011 conference in Atlanta, Georgia. They showcase a broad array of technology during the Keynote Address. If you missed it live, the video is available to watch on-demand now here. Even if you cannot attend in person the conference, there are no reasons why you cannot participate remotely. I am very excited to announce that Microsoft will bring the Tech·Ed 2011 Birds-of-a-Feather (BOF) discussions to you with a live broadcast and twitter stream to handle incoming questions.
As a reader of this blog, I am inviting you to remotely participate in the two Birds-of-a-Feather (BOF) sessions that I will lead.
