Microsoft TechEd Europe 2006 Cancelled

This just in from Bink.nu.

I just received official documentation that Microsoft TechED Europe 2006 in Amsterdam is cancelled. Teched Europe will evolve to 2 events (merging with IT Forum) and is rescheduled to November 2006 in Barcelona.

"To better serve the developer and IT professional communities in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region, Microsoft is evolving its pan-European technical events (Tech Ed Europe and IT Forum) in 2006."

"Microsoft Tech Ed 2006: Developers"

will be a deep-dive technical event addressing the specific requirements of developers while "Microsoft Tech Ed 2006: IT Forum" will be replacing IT Forum but will retain its focus on IT professionals and their distinctive needs.

The two conferences will for the first time run back-to-back in November 2006, creating Microsoft's premier technical education platform in the region and a central feature of the IT industry calendar.
