About 10 months ago i flew out to Houston, Texas to attend TechEd North America 2014. Now, I´ve been given the possibility to also attend this years event. This time, It´s called Microsoft Ignite and that´s a really big change since last year. TechEd is no more and instead of hosting multiple events, Microsoft have made a fusion of several events and is now hosting one big event instead.
The past MS conferences of the fusion is:

Sharepoint conference
Lync conference
Project conference

TechEd North America 2014 is right around the corner

Posted on 5 May, 2014 by Daniel Örneling

Today it is just a week left until TechEd North America 2014 opens up in Houston, Texas when Brad Anderson delivers his keynote on stage in front of all the attendees.

I´m really looking forward to this event and i think it will be great.
