This is the week of Tech-Ed 2011, this time in Atlanta

Exactly ten years later, Tech-Ed, the Microsoft annual conference for IT professionals and developers, is taking place again in Atlanta, beginning today, Monday 16. With 917 sessions, 114 pre-event Webcasts and 312 exhibitors, the event will focus this year on the following areas or tracks: Cloud Computing & Online Services / Database & Business Intelligence / Developer Tools, Languages & Frameworks / Development Practices & Architecture / Exchange & Lync / Middleware & Integration / Office & SharePoint / Security, Identity & Management / Virtualization / Windows Client / Windows Phone / Windows Server. I attended Tech-Ed Atlanta in 2001 and Tech-Ed San Diego in 2004. This time I am following the event from New York.
