Ravings of a Developer TS

I have been with Microsoft as part of their Develop Platform and Evangelism team since July of 2006. As I go about my day to day, I often stumble across things I want to share out with the community. This is my soap box. I am based out of the Midwest District, so please don't be offended if you see most of the events I post being in Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin. If you are ever curious if the event will be in a city near you, just ask :)

Quality Assurance Institute QUEST Conference Comes to Chicago in 2008

A New Name … A New Location … A New Conference Experience

The Quality Assurance Institute is proud to present QUEST Chicago 2008, an all new conference design based on a world wide survey of IT quality and testing professionals.  QUEST is a conference experience designed by practitioners – for practitioners.

The conference uniquely blends together opportunities to LEARN, ASSESS, APPLY, and CONNECT to maximize the value of the conference experience to you.   Although the QUEST name is new and the conference has moved from Orlando to Chicago, you can still expect the same warm, personal touch that you have grown to know over the past 27 annual QAI conferences.
