As an attendee, the most exciting bit of the conference preparation is registration and booking travel. Then the excitement builds up with the release of the schedule builder – this is, historically, a list of the sessions that Microsoft is free to advertise and talk about at that point in time \u2026 other sessions are hush hush until the keynote \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

The Schedule Builder<\/a> is the tool that gives you the ability to list all of the sessions and check the ones that you want to add to your schedule. I typically break it down to time slots for the track(s) that I\u2019m interested in, and check any session I like the sound of – and yes, I will double or even triple book \u2026 sometimes rooms are full, sometimes I change my mind, and sometimes I hear that sessions\/speakers are excellent or not so good. Microsoft uses this information to plan room assignments for the sessions. Later on, you can sync the schedule builder to Outlook or download an ICS file – leave that as late as possible, maybe even until after you\u2019ve attended the Monday foundational sessions.<\/p>\n

The TechEd Europe 2014 Countdown Show, presented by Microsoft\u2019s Joey Snow (@joeysnow) and Rick Claus (@RicksterCDN), featured the Schedule Builder last week.<\/p>\n

I love a free promo!<\/p>\n

Check out the schedule builder if you are attending, and maybe even the CH9 Events app on your mobile device to have a handy digital builder with you on site.<\/p>\n
