Tech Ed Israel – Best conference party ever?

Sun, April 13, 2008, 02:46 AM under Events
I am back from my travels, and if you attended my 2 talks at Tech Ed Israel 2008 you'll find resources for them here and here.

With that out of the way, let me say that I have never ever been to a conference/geek party that even came close to what we experienced in Eilat! After consuming great food (starting at 20:30-21:00), as the night progressed, it was indistinguishable from a high quality commercial club night or a rock gig (dependent on which live band was on stage). Everyone was drunk (open bar all night), everyone was dancing and... unlike most geek parties, there were as many women as men in attendance. I stayed until the end and it was still kicking (02:35 in the morning). If you live in Israel then you owe it to yourself to attend Tech Ed Israel 2010 and if you are on the international speaker circuit try to get invited. I will let the pictures from the party convince you or maybe the video footage ;-)

Simon: It certainly was! The funny thing is that someone that had been to the previous Tech Ed Israel in 2006, thought that one was better... can't imagine how but will report back in 2010 ;)
