TechEd Orlando kicked off this morning along with the MOSS-based VirtualTechEd.com website
The TechEd 2007 conference in Orlando kicked off this morning with an unprecedented number of SharePoint focused sessions. For more info, go to http://www.microsoft.com/events/teched2007. For most of you, that should not be a surprise given the tremendous success that SharePoint has had in the marketplace since being released just over 6 months ago and the ever growing demand for SharePoint technical information.
But you might be pleasantly surprised that the VirtualTechEd.com website designed to extend the TechEd experience online is powered by MOSS 2007. The project team had less than 2 months to implement the site, and with the help of one of our key MOSS-based solution development and hosting partners, Avitiva, the team was able to do it successfully. [Update: The project lead, Zaakera Stratman, would like to also thank Captus Solutions for their efforts as tech/dev leads and especially in getting Silverlight to work on the website.] You can expect much more from the VirtualTechEd site in the coming year as the team leverages other capabilities of MOSS to implement exciting features and enhancements. If you have ideas or suggestions for the team to consider, please leave a comment here.
