Details have been released by Microsoft about the upcoming TechDays 2011. Unfortunately for us in the Maritimes, there is no local in-person event. Only Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal are slated to have in-person events. I attended TechDays 2010, and got to see Mitch Garvis, Rick Claus, Todd Lamothe, Marco Shaw amongst others present topics covering everything from deployments with Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2010 to PowerShell.
Here is a copy of the details announced today: TechDays 2011.
There is some interesting details included in the announcement, such as enhancing content year round with a TechDays Online initiative, as well as a larger push to being involved in the user group community and other local organized events.
I would venture a guess that the current TechNet Virtual Labs offering will play a key role in this endeavour. These Virtual Labs are a great start for learning and getting exposure with a product; when they work. I’ve been trying to load some of the MDOP labs lately with no luck.
Even with the dissapointment of no local in-person event there are opportunities to organize the community to learn from peers on topics that you may be interested in.

Came across the following post on the IT Pro Connection blog (and hey, we got a shout out!). It spells out what a user group community is all about – the essence of this post is exactly what we can achieve with MariTUG; a community of IT workers within the maritimes.
