We are very excited about the enthusiasm and response we have received from speakers at Tech·Ed.  Our interview schedule for the Fish Bowl has soared and our hard working AV crew has been amazing and capturing all of our awesome speakers.  Individuals like Michael Howard, Steve Riley, Ron Jacobs and many other amazing speakers have stopped by to talk tech with us throughout this week.  Later today we will begin to post these videos so check back in the featured content section of the site for these awesome interviews.
