The size of Tech-Ed Boston 2006


I don't think I commented on the size of Tech-Ed 2006 conference that I attended in Boston back in June (blogged here).

There were about 12,000 people attending! It was the biggest conference I've been to.

The logistics were nightmarish, yet they went without a glitch. Look at (part of) the lunch room on a photo I took from the walkway above. Tables as far as the eye can see.

  1. Alex!

    But what was your impression of the quality of the sessions?

    After reading Craig Bailey's account of Tech Ed Australia, I think your opinion would be a great juxtaposition.

  2. The sessions were not that great. I was not super-impressed. I have attended some decent sessions there, but I have seen much better quality, and level, at other conferences.
