TechEd Barcelona: Day 4

November 8, 2007 16:22 by Mike McMeekin

Well technically our last day in Teched was a bit slow largely down to us 'networking' until the early hours of the morning. We had a fantastic night with the Ireland guys, as well as some real amazing guys from Redmond that we had met on monday. Early hours early hours...

We did take the opportunity to go see a bit of Barca, Kieran has some great photos and I've got a few myself which I'll upload and tag.

So writing this on our last night of our amazing TechEd trip I'd like to thank Microsoft for giving us an awesome opportunity to come out here, representing Ireland. Don't worry - we were the last to leave the bar the last 3 nights running - now thats how you represent Ireland =)

Mike signing off from the amazing city of Barcelona!

TechEd Barcelona: Day 2

November 7, 2007 08:42 by Mike McMeekin

 

So yesterday we meet up with the other student partners from around the world, which was very cool. I didn't even realise just how big the program is, with 1600 student partners around the world - and that number is growing. We had alot of cool speakers, and a nice Q&A session. Not alot I can talk about tho ;)

 So one of the things we talked about was the Mix on Campus events, which I can now announce is happening in Queens on the 28th of November - I expect you all to come ;) - will include silverlight, xna, robitics studio and the ImagineCup. We talked about a BuzzTour, which should happen in the new year to include popfly, visualstudio and sql server.

 We headed out with the partners then later on for bowling and pool, for a change I was actually decent at pool, awful at bowling still tho. Met a load of Russians (Like 7!!), 2 Dutch, 2 Belgians, a swede ... so on and so forth.

 I can confirm now too the hiltons cocktail selection is awesome =)
