Tech.Ed.au 2007: Itinerary

Posted in Coding, IT, Travel by Will on July 8, 2007.

So, I spent a little while today going through the huge number of sessions on at Tech.Ed at the Gold Coast this year (160 or so) and picking out a rough guide for what I’m thinking of going to.

If anyone else is going and wants to meet up for a chat - drop me a line :)
