Tech-Ed SEA 2007: Geek out into the SEA, the Tech-Ed way
June 21st, 2007 by ShajiFiroz
Tech-Ed is the event of assorted geeks where you see enthusiasm, networking of Microsoft technologies, with Microsofties, IT pros, developers, vendors etc. Upcoming Tech-Ed for South East Asia will be held at Kula Lumpur Convention Center from 10-13 September, 2007. This is the place where “Microsofties” deep dive into the “SEA” & empower themselves with emerging Microsoft Technologies.
I will be off to make my mark at Tech-Ed 2007 SEA at KL, Malaysia, and spend valuable time to learn from the experts, share my knowledge with some of you guys, hands-on at the lab with latest & greatest in Microsoft especially Exchange 2007, OCS 2007 & MOSS 2007.
So why wait? If you are not registered yet, here is the link and below shown is current promotion as I write this blog post now. To answer most of your Tech-Ed related questions, visit here and Ed Quek scribble exclusively about Tech-Ed 2007 SEA event, so don’t forget to visit his blog.
Tech-Ed brings benefits in many ways to many people. I still remember, I started my site MessagingTalk.org and got the inspiration to get my MVP after attending Tech-Ed 2005 at Singapore. Every Tech-Ed is a win-win event for me personally, as I get more ideas from the experts around and I make connections with Technologists, entrepreneurs, IT pros and developers. If you can’t make it for Tech-Ed 2007 SEA, there are other places in Asia where you can make your mark. Here is Tech-Ed worldwide site.
What actually you can expect from Tech-Ed 2007 SEA?
2007 is “Year of release” for Microsoft and MS community started discussing about chain of new products and technologies. Every year, Tech-Ed event is getting to be huge and mining the precious of gold among the large number of sessions is challenge. In messaging and collaboration perspective, I would like to guide you on what to look for during Tech-Ed 2007 SEA.
I believe Microsoft Office Communication Server 2007 will be a one of the worth sessions, as OCS 2007 gets closer to release. You may probably hear about “Quality of Experience” (QOE), as Microsoft is projecting this as a better metric for Voice/video quality over traditional “Quality of Service” (QoS). Obviously, Microsoft will be keen on showcasing some of the cool VoIP communications devices including its own like Round Table, Tanjay etc.
Hmm…This could be a spark. You will also be eager to see what vendors could be offering on Exchange 2007. As you aware, the new High Availability & disaster recovery options built into Exchange 2007 might have caused some upheaval in the vendors offering.
Lookout for some of the cool hands-on labs focused on Exchange 2007. Some of the previous TechEd had topics like “Deploying Exchange Activesync on Exchange 2007 (with certificate-based authentication), Using Microsoft System Center Capacity Planner to size Exchange 2007 deployments, some labs on Transitioning Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007, Setting up Cluster Continuous Replication & Local Continuous Replication.
It’s Free & Easy, just wander around the event. Who knows, we may get a chance to see each other and say Hi.

Last thing you would rather do after TechEd is hang-in and take a tour to see Malaysia
