Back from Orlando
For any of you who stopped by the booth to chat at DevConnections, it was great talking with you! For those of you who couldn't make it, perhaps you can come to TechEd in June.
The show seemed to be a large success. The booths were open even during sessions this year which was a first. Good news to the speakers.. the exhibit hall was like a ghost town during sessions. It got a little boring at times, but luckily we had 300 stress balls on hand. I'm not really sure what we would have done without them. It got a lot more exciting between sessions, when the hall would get packed! Throwing stress balls out into a crowd really can be a lot of fun, but so is doing a demo for a live audience that just keeps growing in number. Of course, my goal was to attract more people on my side than Andrew Flick could for his side. We had ASP.NET on one monitor, and WinForms/WPF on the other. I'm not sure if he was aware of the competition, but something tells me he was thinking the same thing..
I also finally had the opportunity to finally meet Dino Esposito face to face! He held a full day workshop there which hopefully you got the chance to attend. If not, I definitely recommend you make time in your schedule to go to his talk at TechEd.
All in all, a good show!
