Speaking at TechEd has been one of my career ambitions for years \u2013 it is the pinnacle of speaking in the Microsoft world. I started of presenting at MSFT community events and had no such goal. But eventually I reached the point with my knowledge of Hyper-V that I felt like I could contribute and that I wanted to speak on the bigger stage; certainly presenting one of the sessions at the WS2012 launch in London (1000 attendees in the room) fired me up even more. I submitted sessions to TechEd, but never got anywhere. I gave up on my goal last year.<\/p>\n

Then things fell into place at TechEd North America. I wasn\u2019t going to do Speaker Idol. But when I was asked, I had an idea and I said to myself \u201cfrak it, do it! It\u2019ll be fun to do\u201d. And I ended up winning a slot in \u201cTechEd\u201d int he USA next year. I also talked to some folks and they gave me some advice about submitting sessions for TEE14. I submitted one session and \u2026<\/p>\n

Getting good news is always a nice way to finish the day. Early yesterday evening\u00a0<\/em>I received an email informing me that Microsoft had picked their sessions\/speakers for TEE14. I followed the link to check the status of my submission and there it said:<\/p>\n

Approval Status: <\/strong>Approved<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes; I did my happy dance \ud83d\ude00 My guess is that we cannot talk about our sessions yet, but you can safely guess that I\u2019ll be talking about Hyper-V.<\/p>\n

Hopefully I\u2019ll see some of you there when I present \u2026 at TechEd!<\/p>\n
