If you are struggling with sessions clashing - or if you won't be at Tech Ed - we are going to record video content for six of the sessions and put them up on www.techedlive.co.nz.  The six sessions that will be recorded will be:

DAT302 – Overview of SQL Server 2008 – Jeremy Boyd
SEC305 – Virtualization and security – Steve Riley
SVR315 – Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V Architecture, Scenarios and Networking Deep Dive – Ben Armstrong
WEB304 – Web futures panel
WEB309 – Silverlight for developers – Jonas Folleso
SVR319 – Active Directory Deep Dive – Tony Murray

These sessions will start becoming available on www.techedlive.co.nz from Tuesday morning (Sept 2), so stay tuned.

We are also going to be doing a series of interviews with several speakers which will also be posted on to Tech Ed Live. There will be a bunch of us doing the interviews, and we’ll be interviewing Scott Hanselman, Amit Mital, Steve Riley and Reed Schaffner as well as some of those from Australia and New Zealand including Neil Roodyn, Jeremy Boyd, Pat Martin and Johann Kruse.

If you are going to be at Tech Ed, make sure you say hello (especially since it will be my last Tech Ed in DPE). If you are not going to be there, make sure you keep a browser tab on Tech Ed Live and keep up with what is going on.

See you there (either way)!
