It's been a while, working right now on a big, secure and innovative reporting solution for one of the biggest security firms in Europe. More of this when it's ready, just wanted to inform you all why I've been a non-blogger...

Anyway, TechEd EMEA. This year in Berlin, Germany, in the middle of november. Two years since the previous TechEd EMEA visit, last time in Barcelona, Spain. More tempting weather in Spain than Germany. But then again, even if I love the sun and the close-to-be summer in Spain my visit for TechEd is always to hear about new technologies. Or technologies, more like new SQL things. Last time wasn't all that enjoying new stuff. Well, I was looking for SQL Server 2008 after been looking at the pre-releases for about six months or more by then. Nothing new in those sessions, more like acknowledge of already gained experience. Well, that was the past. Let's talk about this trip to Berlin instead.

First of all I'm looking forward for this trip, haven't been abroad for about six months. I enjoy travelling. This trip will be adventurous. As part of the board of MCT Sweden we're planning a bus tour through Europe to Berlin. We'll start in Stockholm five days ahead of the event with a small event for techies, with a trip to Gothemburg and another small event, and with a final event in Malmoe/Copenhagen with sessions about certification, Windows 7, BizTalk and more. I'll be in Gothemburg and probably in Malmoe/Copenhagen too, not with a session. More like a rep of MCT Sweden. But then again, I'll probably preach some SQL too. At least on request.

This TechEd is just not for visit, it's for work aswell. I'll be situated at the HOLs as a Technical Learning Guide, formerly know as ATEs. Helping people out with the labs and questions about certification. I'll probably deliver som SQL exam prep sessions, not yet acknowledged but probably. I'll will try to attend as many SQL sessions as possible. If I'll learn something new I'll keep you all posted. If you're in Berlin, try to locate me. I'll stay at a cheap, possible sleazy hotel just 800 meters away. If you have a nice room, and want a roomy, contact me.

Ok, back to the bus tour. Have you heard about the "Get on the Bus, MCT Edition"? If not hurry up and visit the http://www.mctsweden.se site while the competition still is running. You can win a transport down to Berlin and back to Sweden and a pass to TechEd. You only need to win the competition we are running. Don't miss this exclusive opportunity, you'll meet me on the bus.
