WCF LOB
Blogged date : 2008 Jan 05
Although TechEd doesn’t happen until June, there is an extensive timeline that requires us to have sessions submitted in January in order to drive demand generation for the event. Thank you in advance for making TechEd, our largest customer event - a priority.
This year TechEd will feature two separate back-to-back conferences: Tech·Ed U.S. 2008 Developers, June 3-6, and Tech·Ed U.S. 2008 IT Professionals, June 10-13, in Orlando, FL.
Currently we need more BizTalk session proposals especially for the IT Pro conference.
This year we would like to emphasize the following topics:
· BizTalk Server 2006 R2 new features in action (EDI/AS2, RFID, WCF Adapters, WCF LOB Adapters, WF/WCF BAM Interceptors)
Demonstrating how the new BizTalk capabilities have been implemented and are already creating value for customers.
· ALM of BizTalk implementations
Providing best practices and the details of what it takes to design, build, deploy and maintain BizTalk Applications. Especially for enterprise scale/mission critical implementations.
ACTION:
- Go to: https://2008.msteched.com/cft
- Enter Access Code: TEUS-MSFT
- Complete all fields, and submit
NOTE: You will be asked to create a password, which allows you to revisit your submission to make changes or additions, or to enter another session idea
Deadline: Jan 11, 2008.
Tips for Successful Submissions:
- Write a descriptive, fun and enticing title
- Target 300-400 level technical content; 200 level content is in low demand
- Make sure your proposal is new, unique and/or refreshed content
- Take a solution oriented approach
- Align your topic to the technologies listed for the track
- Ensure there is no marketing in your content
- Showcase your speaking experience
- Focus on current technologies, which are those in beta and will be released to market prior to the next Tech·Ed
- High scoring sessions include one or more live demos
Types of Sessions
There are three types of sessions for which you are welcome to submit ideas.
Breakout Sessions: 75 minutes
Track Breakout session allocations are limited, so please prioritize your submissions and collaborate with other teams and technologies where possible.
· The session level requirement for Tech·Ed is 300 or above.
Þ 200 Level: Technology overview, technical introduction, some code
Þ 300 Level: Intermediate architecture, development and more code
Þ 400 Level: Advanced code, deep architecture, drilldowns
· Internal speakers must cover their own T&E out of their team budgets
· 30% of our track speakers are required to be external – influencers (MVPs, RDs) or partners. If you have external speakers who can represent your content, please let me know and we will send them the Call for Content message for externals.
TLC Interactive Theater presentations (not sessions): 75 minutes
- Small group interactions that allow for discussion around a specific topic area
- Include white boarding, demos, and/or drill downs, but no PPT
- Typically are created to compliment a Breakout session
- T&E is not provided for TLC presenters
Hands on Labs (HOLs) – 45 to 60 minutes of content
HOLs materials are provide before the event and available to attendees on computer stations. These are drilldown technical learning opportunities in a self-paced teaching environment. There are more than 200 featured Hands-on Lab topics—each focused on a specific task or feature of a product or technology already presented in the Breakout sessions. When proposing Hands-on Labs, you also can propose modules (more than one lab) that an attendees would do throughout the week.
Next steps…
ü Session submissions are reviewed to determine which best meet the needs of the Tech·Ed audience, as well as fulfill the messaging requirements of the PG.
ü Tech·Ed will notify you if your submission status has changed. By returning to the Call for Content tool, logging in using your Username and Password, and clicking on “My Topics” you will be able to see the status of your submission.
Thanks,
Ofer Ashkenazi
