The TechEd 2006 site has now been updated with details about the June 11-16 event in Boston. Registration is now open as well.
http://www.microsoft.com/events/teched2006/default.mspx
Interesting details:
- Early Bird (by 4/14) cost is $1,795
- A Sunday night keynote with Ray Ozzie and Kurt DelBene
- The special attendee event will be at Fenway Park. (Unfortunately the Red Sox will be out on a road trip, but it should be a great night of food, drink and music.)
- The Technical Learning Center
- The standard staples of Bird-of-a-Feather sessions, Chalk Talks, Expo Hall, MCP testing, Hands-On Labs and Jam sessions are fully intact
While I usually enjoy being able to travel to a distant city to get away and "geek out" for the week, it's going to be great having it right in our back yard.
I hope to see you there!
