Thanks for posting, Tammy! Last year this call was tons of fun thanks to our super-duper host.
I’d recommend to call in even if you are not going to TechEd.
This year I’m hoping to add more information for those who are not staying at Venetian/Palazzo since it’ll include me.
So if you’re worried how you’ll get there, what to do or eat – tune in!
My small contribution:
Don't stay within one track - branch out a little. There will be times when you have some openings - fill them. You can go to some of the sessions that interest you and not just the ones you feel you have to go to. You know the ones that you told your boss you'd get to.
Take advantage of waiting outside of sessions - the person next to you could be a great contact in the future!
OK - and some of the speakers will hate me for this one. Make sure you overbook yourself. There will be some sessions that just aren't what you expected. I try to sit at the end of a row and quietly exit at that time. But be respectful to others that ARE in the right place and don't want slamming doors behind them.
This year - I'm bringing a small note pad with me. I actually got my own cards printed up. My company doesn't really do business cards unless you travel a lot. So I could hand them out. But many people don't have business cards. The small pad will give you a place to keep e-mails, etc. I try to write something beside it to remember what conversation we were having.
And last, but not least 🙂 during lunches it's a great place to unwind and chat with colleagues about your sessions. That's a great idea - but those table are huge. Take 2 seconds and introduce yourself. (Even if they happen to be speaking a different language!)
Have fun! Hope to see you there!
Excellent advice Michelle! Hope you can join the call and share more tips!
Hi Jason,
Long time since I've seen you. Perhaps we will run into each other at TechEd? I’ll try to be on the call. I think it will be fun and I can learn some more things!
And one more tip from me:
One thing I noticed today while trying to put together my agenda. Select all the sessions you are interested and then when it asks you if you want to delete one. Don’t do it – just add it. Then when you are done, you can look at “my agenda” and decide what works where. Because if they are a repeat – I add all the time slots.
Sigh. I think I’ve finally got mine manageable. Now the hard part – deciding what I can get to and what I have to miss. And yes I’m one of the crazy one that looks at all the pages. Read all the titles and open up the ones I think I’ll like. No real track…
