TechEd South Africa – getting started

 So, Tech*Ed SA is over the corner and I’m already there. Finally I got normal internet access (which is problematic in South Africa) in speaker’s room and I can update you with what’s going on here. This year, as well as all previous years, TechEd SA takes place in ICC (International Conference Center) in Durban, which is absolutely incredible.  Also, Durban is very criminal, yet nice place. Beaches, sun (it’s winter here), hooligans and a lot of geeks. Hooligans? Yes, my mobile phone was stolen by kids and catch twice (thanks to Israel Defense Forces, teach me to stop thief and other criminal elements).

Also, there is a huge number of homeless kids in Durban streets. Government provides them with shelters, however their parents take them from shelters and make them to be beggars, which makes me very sad.

As in any TechEd, the agenda is very tight. Today evening, there will be the Key notes (IT Pro only) and tomorrow sessions will start.

This year, I’ll going to have four session. Following the time table for it. Be sure to attend.

If you want to catch me between session or in evening, please write down my local mobile number: +27 (73) 5996334

See you…
