April 2006 -- Orlando, Orlando, and Nice!
This blog has been quiet but that doesn't mean that nothing has been happening. We recently finalized the program for our next set of shows. And boy, is it a busy April for the Connections crew:
- April 2-5, 2006: Microsoft ASP.NET Connections, Visual Studio Connections, SQL Server Magazine Connections, and SharePoint Connections, Orlando, Florida. Four great shows for the developer/DBA in one location at the beautiful Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress resort in sunny Orlando, Florida. This is one of my all time favorite hotels in the heart of America's playland: Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World, etc. New for Orlando is the addition of SharePoint Connections.
- April 9-12, 2006: Microsoft Exchange Connections and Windows Connections, Orlando, Florida. Two great IT professional shows in one location. This IT show follows the developer/DBA events by one week and moves down the street to the Disney Swan Resort. Also, a nice hotel but it's been about 12 years since I stayed there (at the first TechEd). Should be another great show for the Exchange/Windows professional.
- April 24-27, 2006: Microsoft ASP.NET Connections, Visual Studio Connections, SQL Server Magazine Connections, and Microsoft Exchange Connections, Nice, France! Like Orlando, this is four great shows for the price of one but this time we add Microsoft Exchange Connections to the mix instead of the SharePoint. This is a great opportunity for our European (and African and Asian) friends to join a Connections event without having to fly all the way to the United States. And for some of us US speakers, what a great perk to be able to hang out on the Mediterranean. I've been to Nice once before (TechEd Europe about 7 years ago) and what another fantastic location. I am especially excited about this one.
