22 febbraio A track owners view of building sessions!I am the Mobility Track Owner for TE 2007. I kicked off planning for the show with my v-team in December. We have done a lot of brainstorming on how to make the most of our presence this year and have some good ideas to execute on as we move forward in our planning. Overall, MED is very excited about TE 2007 because we have our own Mobility track this year! We have been lucky enough in the past to share track space with Exchange and other BGs but we are ready to branch out on our own. We will be educating TE attendees on both our Windows Mobile product and our suite of Windows Embedded products in our track breakouts, HOLs, ILLs, and chalk talks. And we just launched a new version of Windows Mobile, WM6, on 2/12/07 so we will have new WM6 based devices to showcase at our TLC which will be really cool. In addition to working to ensure that our content is appealing and appropriate for our Tech Ed audience, I have been working with other Track Owners, including Ali, Enzo, Stephanie and Lisa to develop some joint sessions. Our goal is to show the IT Pros how mobility works with other key elements of the Microsoft stack and how they can leverage their existing skills and knowledge to extend their infrastructure to support mobile messaging, mobile CRM, etc. in a secure and optimized way. Session triage is next Monday so I can share more about the actual sessions that made the cut in a future posting. During the time that I am not managing this track, I am responsible for MED’s global strategy for Mobile Line of Business application marketing. My goal is to get a business users to use Windows Mobile devices to do their daily jobs more efficiently and in real time even while they are away from their desks.

Mobility Track Owner The creation of the Teched 2007 TLCPutting the TLC together is like a big puzzle. How do we put all this cool Microsoft stuff in one place and make it easy for everyone to find what they are looking for – be it product demos, hands-on labs, or just a comfortable place to sit and chat with fellow attendees? With the help of our logistics masterminds, the TLC floor plan is laid out in an empty space that is more than 200,000 square feet. Then each section is designed to meet the specifications of what is going to happen in that area. Think about all the wires attached to your computer, and then imagine the wires it takes to hook up the more than 1,250 computers in the Hands on Labs and Instructor Led Labs, not to mention the 100s of machines used to showcase Microsoft’s newest technologies. Finally our creative team adds color and signs to make it easy to quickly navigate around the TLC. Of course, the real fun starts in the TLC on June 4 when all the people arrive in Orlando. Susan L. TLC and Community Lead 21 febbraio Prepare to make your markPrepare to make your mark at TechEd 2007...here is a sample of what you will see at TechEd 2007 as well as a link to the TechEd 2007 website: http://www.microsoft.com/events/teched2007/default.mspx Session SelectionIt is that time...we are working with the track owners to select the more than 480 sessions that will be held at TechEd 2007! Currently the track owners are going through 1600 session submissions sorting through to find the best combination of topics. There is a lot of colloboration with other tracks as well as their product groups to ensure we are on target for what is in demand. It is an exciting and demanding time as we look forward to the evolution of sessions. Monica W. Technical Content Owner 2nd 09 febbraio Video ClipsCheck out the space at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. It is crazy how big it is: http://soapbox.msn.com/?user=900382123795620218 TechEd meets TeachReady-WOWI just had an opportunity to visit TechReady(internal version of TechEd) and it was amazing. Although the events are quite different as far as audience, size etc. they are fundamentally the same. I was able to see all of things we talk about in our core team meetings and how they relate. Think about the logistics to be able to feed 14,000 people alone.
Several of our track owners work on both TechEd and TechReady so they have been busy this week. At the same time they are working on the content that will be delivered at TechEd 2007 and let me tell you, there are so many details involved with putting together the right combination of sessions. There are so many creative ideas to look at. I keep being told, wait until February...it is going to get busy so I expect the pace to quicken, the excitement to rise and the experience to be memorable. Monica W. Technical Content Owner 2nd
