TechEd 2005 EMEA is just over, leaving me tired ( not exacly the event tired me, but the way back home; flying 2h from Amsterdam to Warsaw, spending over 1h on Warsaw Central Station to buy a ticket and standing 5h from Warsaw to Bydgoszcz in overfilled train; I just hate travelling when the holiday season opens ). There ware many interesting sessions and other attractions. I'll only list sessions I enjoyed most:
"Microsoft and Open Source" - a Chalk-and-Talks session lead by Steven Adler, Thomas Lee, Bill Hilf and Mark Thompson
"Agile Developement" - Panel discussion by Roy Osherove, James World, Randy Miller and Andrew Cheesman
"The Future of Software" - keynote by David Veskevitch
It is a pity not all "experts" standing on "expert stands" ware really experts (or even daily users of those systems) :-/ and noone can explain why we'll have 12 brand new colorful wizards but no context-sensitive intellisense in next version of VisualStudio ( only folks leading "MS and OS" session tried and I appreciate that ).
Overally I really enjoyed the event even if not all of my questions ware fully answered. ( and the Amsterdam city is a very interesting place :-) )
