This year the Tech.Ed 2006 Technology Showcase features over 40 partners, sponsors and exhibitors. What better opportunity to explore all of the latest industry products, solutions and innovations, catch up with existing business and partner contacts and form new industry relationships.

But it ain’t all work and no play. No way

Have YOU got the skills to take your company to FIFA World Cup glory?

As a showpiece at this year’s Tech.Ed Welcome Night, 32 registered companies will go head-to-head and toe-to-toe, battling to become the inaugural Xbox 360 FIFA 2006 Challenge Corporate Champion. So if you’re the Zidane, Rooney, or Ronaldinho of Xbox 360 gaming in your company (or know who is) then SIGN UP NOW. The first 32 companies registered will have the chance to ultimately go one-on-one with superstar gamer, Stephen Coorey, to claim a $2,000 grand prize.

To register simply e-mail v-kumarm@microsoft.com the following details no later than Wednesday 16 August (assuming positions remain): first name, surname, e-mail address, mobile number, work number, company, position, and t-shirt size (yes, all players will receive a highly-sought-after adidas Xbox 360 game shirt.)
Oh yeah and don’t forget to drop a bid in the silent auction; with highly collectable celebrity-autographed Xbox 360 consoles up for grabs (with proceeds benefiting indigenous children as part of NRL superstar David Peachey’s ‘David Peachey Foundation’).

And that’s just for starters.

So register for Tech.Ed today.
Wednesday 23 August, 6.00pm – 8.00pm

This is a unique opportunity to engage and interact with US and Australia-wide industry experts.

Thursday 24 August, 6.00pm til Late

We received hundreds of entries as part of the Tech.Ed ‘Design The Ultimate Closing Party Experience’ Early Bird registration promotion.

Our team of ‘officials’ have now thrown the full range of madcap, manic, mysterious, musical and movie-based creations into our magical multi-blender.

We’ll extract the winning entry (and celebrate the winner) the final week before Tech.Ed.

That gives everyone plenty of time to pack a costume and some themed trinkets (yep, we’ve always said this year’s Tech.Ed is all about you).

Exactly what you’ll be including in your suitcase remains a surprise.
For now, simply secure your ticket.
