Good times ahead as today I’m making my way over to the USA (Houston Texas) or TechEd 2014 North America. I’m in good company of a few of my colleagues and I have a great number of my buddies & industry relations inbound as well.
Time for some serious education, networking & passionate discussions on the state of the industry with people form all over the globe. I’ll also make good use of my time over there to meet up with the people in my network that are US based.
I’ll be spending time in cloud/hybrid/virtualization tracks and focus on networking and identity. That’s starts off very well with a pre conference track hybrid identity on Sunday by john Craddock, a true scholar!
Network!
No need to bring SFP+ or RJ45, don’t worry. Next to sessions & labs don’t forget to connect with others. The ability to network with peers and industry experts is a great benefit of this conference so make the best of it. There are few events with this concentration of expertise & talent, tap into that resource.
To help all you shy people out there Aidan Finn has launched the The TechEd North America 2014 Hyper-V Amigo Selfie Game. You can read all about it over here and if you play, best of luck!
On Route
But first we need to get there. As I learned during visit of the Boeing factory in Seattle “If it’s not Boeing, I ‘m not going” 
. No worries it appears they’re using a 777?
So I’m getting out of the village, into the world so tunnel visions and blinders can be avoided. See you all there.
Ah Boeing … nothing like the smell of leaking fuel, the sound of crackling batteries, and the feel of broken seats to get you in the mood for long distance travel. See you on Sunday/Monday.
