Microsoft TechEd turns 20 with the SQL Server Team on hand to celebrate!
It has been 20 years since Microsoft started TechEd to provide hands on training from Microsoft experts across current and soon-to-release products, solutions and services. The event has grown to become Microsoft’s premier technology conference for IT Pros and Developers, and to mark our 20th year we are really excited to be presenting an awesome lineup of speakers for TechEd North America (June 11-14, 2012) and TechEd Europe (June 26-29, 2012)! In particular for TechEd North America, we are honored to have Satya Nadella (President, Server and Tools Business) as the keynote speaker and Quentin Clark (Corporate Vice President, Database Systems Group, Microsoft SQL Server) deliver his vision for The New World of Data: SQL Server and Hybrid IT.
By attending TechEd North America’s Database and Business Intelligence track, you will be spoiled for choice for technical education.
