With the mix of strong developer and infrastructure content (split 50:50), Microsoft Tech·Ed 2005 Europe is the flagship technical education conference for developers and IT Professionals. Bringing 400+ technical learning sessions across 12 targeted tracks you will evaluate current and soon-to-be launched technologies and network with industry leaders.

Tech·Ed Europe is based on 3 key pillars:

  • Technical Education
  • Technology Evaluation
  • Community and Networking

Tech·Ed 2005 will have a mix of technical education (more than 400 break-out sessions), technology evaluation (Hands-on Labs and more than 100 exhibitors) and community and networking. Further the event focuses heavily on the interaction between the attendees and all the people on site (Microsoft product managers and staff, industry experts and speakers, other attendees …). There will also be a completely revamped Ask-the-Experts area!
