Tech·Ed 2004 Agenda
Tech·Ed 2004 featured 11 comprehensive conference tracks. Attendees had the option of staying within one track or choosing from sessions across tracks to build the educational experience that best suited their needs. Tech·Ed 2004 offered access to many other event programs too, including keynotes, Hands-on labs, and more.

Our New Calendar Tool Created Customized Schedules
The Tech·Ed 2004 Breakout Session Calendar made it possible for registered attendees to build their own personalized conference schedule. They simply clicked on the breakout timeslot to view the available sessions, and then clicked the sessions they wished to add to their calendar.
Rio—the Live Attendee Networking Tool
The Attendee Networking System - Rio enabled registered attendees to identify and connect with speakers, Microsoft staff, and other attendees, based on common interests and expertise. With most registered attendees profiled online, guests were able to check out who attended and request meetings.
"Tech·Ed has been phenomenal. I have been completely surprised by the number of attendees. The quality of the sessions has been really awesome."
—Jeff Cichello
"I think it is the general and broad context that is the appeal of Tech·Ed. Rather than focusing on one product, there is a broad spectrum of things to get to know."
—Hildigunnur Aegisdottir
