Join Us. It's TECHIE Nirvana!
So what is it and how does it apply to me?
We've consistently heard from many of you over the past several years,
the need and desire for Microsoft to sponsor a deeply technical, hands-on
conference dedicated to Windows driver development and testing. We
appreciate the feedback - and we agree that this type of technical
conference is long overdue. With that said, we'd like to extend an
invitation to you to join us at the first annual Windows Driver Development
Conference (DevCon) here at Microsoft Campus (Redmond, WA) - November 11-14,
2003. http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/resources/events/driverdevcon.mspx
Since DevCon is a direct result of your feedback - we didn't want to
stop there - so we asked you to participate in a survey to tell us what this
conference should look like. Based on what you told us - here is what DevCon
will look like:
Take us beyond the basics.
§ Content is on technical depth - and targets the intermediate to
advanced developer and tester
We want to talk to the REAL deal - Microsoft developers, testers and
engineers.
§ Five hours a day of Ask the Experts roundtables - giving you plenty
of face time with Microsoft developers and testers across all Windows
technologies
§ Microsoft developers, testers, and engineers will be monitoring all
the sessions - to make it easier for you to get your questions answered
§ ASK ADRIAN - this is your chance to bring your tough problems to
Adrian Oney. Adrian will be available for a couple hours each day for
one-on-one or small group discussions. You, Adrian, a whiteboard and a
computer - what more could you ask for?
Ok - so now what?
