Here is my tentative Tech·Ed schedule. There are several time slots where I have double- or triple-booked myself. Also, I have been told by experienced Tech·Ed attendees to let my schedule be flexible — make sure I hit the things that are critical to me, but let the other times be rearranged if necessary. I suppose this makes sense, especially because of the Grok Talks. I haven’t compared schedules (GT schedules for Tues, Weds, Thurs), but hopefully I’ll be able to skip something less interesting for three really interesting Grok Talks.
In addition to my full schedule, I am hoping to be able to make it to the last half of a User Group Leader Summit for INETA and Culminis group leaders. The reason I’m hoping to make the last half is that it takes place all day Sunday, and I don’t arrive until around noon or so on Sunday. I didn’t know about this summit in time to book my flight appropriately. Oh well.
Anyway, as promised, for what it’s worth, here is my current (overbooked) schedule.
