New friends at the Microsoft Hong Kong TechEd 2003

Just finished my presentation at Microsoft Hong Kong TechEd 2003 today, the new Business Marketing Organization Director - Robbie Wright presented a really cool opening keynote. I learn a copule of new new features about the new Exchange server and the Microsoft Office system.

Moreover, I met two new friends today - Bruce Backa (founder of CriticalSales) and Patrick Hynds (Microsoft RD and CTO of CriticalSales). They actually fly from the United States and give a couple of presentations for the Microsoft HK TechEd 2003.

Patrick speak for New York City .NET Developer's Group in the past, so I invite him to speak for my Hong Kong .NET User Group immediately! ( You know, INETA won't send speakers from the States/Europe to Asia-Pacific Region at this moment though I always looking forward to make it happen and wait for their reply about the formation of INETA Asia Committee )

Anyway, Patrick and Bruce are really cool! They promise to speak for us immediately. HOWEVER, they will leave on 6th Sept, and today is 2nd Sept... so... it's a bit hurry for organize such gathering for my User Group members... :(

They'll fly to Hong Kong for the TechEd 2004 next year. I'm sure we will keep in touch this year and I'll arrange this 'upcoming' event properly. :)
