Microsoft Canada's TechDays 2008

Our friends at Microsoft Canada have given me the scoop on TechDays 2008 which is Microsoft's largest technical education conference series for IT Professionals and Developers in Canada, ever. The multi-city series promises to provide skills development through deep technical training, a place to connect with peers and the opportunity to learn and evaluate across a wide range of technical sessions.

D'Arcy Lussier wrote on his blog, TechDays 2008 promises to be, "All Thriller. No Filler. This is *NOT* a marketing tour! It’s a one to two day conference (depending on your city) that focuses on learning and using Microsoft technologies. Think of it as a Microsoft focused code camp of sorts."

The education at TechDays is delivered by Microsoft and their partners along with industry experts. The gang at Microsoft have been working hard to bring this high-quality event to Canadians.

Here are some highlights of Microsoft TechDays 2008:

• Technology training conference for Canadian IT Professionals and Developers
• Coming to Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Calgary, Halifax and Vancouver
• Forty skill strengthening sessions – with a customizable agenda
• The latest technologies – Including Virtualization
• All attendees receive a learning kit valued at approximately $1,000 plus bonuses
• A tour to spark your passion for technology
• Connect with Experts and Peers
• Apply what you learn
  

Miguel Carrasco writes, "If you are a software developer, you should email your boss or team lead immediately and ask them if you can attend the event in your city. Not only will you get a chance to participate in some amazing technical presentations, but you’ll also get a ton of free stuff!"
