How Can I Be A Presenter at TechEd next year ?

I've been asked recently by some folks that they would like to be able to present at Tech.Ed next year, and who they need to contact.

My reply went something like this

Participate in the community.

  • start a blog
  • participate on a mailing list, like the aus-dotnet mailing list
  • go to a user group
  • present at a user group
  • contribute to a community dev project such as DNN
  • do internal presentations at your place of work
  • write articles for magazines
  • get published online
  • write a book

You do these things and we'll be begging you to present ;)

Look's very similar to an earlier post of mine - So, you want to be an Evangelist?

in your case andrew, you have an extra challenge. you've got that media thing hanging around your neck. that kinda makes it tricky, but im happy to work with it

Another approach might be to steal your bright red and yellow shirt (version 2) and hold it for randsom? Send a note saying something like: "You will never see your shirt again unless you let me present at TechEd 2006" or something like that?

Ouch Troy - not a good thing to say. That shirt has sentimental value even for those of us who know Frank!

I can cross over half those things off...I must be doing the wrong half.

Does anyone know where TE2006 is going to be? I know where the US one will be, but is oz back in QLD?

As for getting to talk...I can cross off 4 of them :) I'd prefer to be the Canberra DPE rather than a teched talker. Dammit, still means I have to follow the list *grin*

I'm a bit of a Star Trek fan, so I think it's kinda funny that out of that list...
I have 7 of 9 :-)

Keep up the good work Frank!
