Technically Speaking

Just a few minutes ago I received an official invite to Gestalt IT’s Tech Field Day – Seattle 2010.  I cannot wait.  I thought I would share a bit about the event and what the idea is here ahead of time and maybe some blog posts during (or just after) the event (July 14-17 2010).

What is this “Tech Field Day“?

Tech Field Day is an event put on by Gestalt IT to bring together technical minds from all over the place for discussion with a select group of organizations and each other.  It is not a press event, other than the blogging, vlogging, tweeting, etc done by attendees.

The goal is to learn about new and exciting technologies and network with other individuals/meet new people.

Sounds like a conference to me…

In many respects it is a conference, there are likely to be T-shirts, keynote speeches, breakout sessions, bags of things to cart around and lanyards galore, but the nature of the event, invite only, makes it truly unique.

Disclosure: I have been selected as a delegate to attend Tech Field Day Seattle 2010.  The conference is all expenses paid (meals, airfare, and lodging) and may result in some sweet swag.  I will be blogging about the event and hopefully am able to provide great information about the goings on and all that surrounds this conference.

Now that the business of disclosure is out of the way, I really am glad to have been chosen to attend.  I look forward to learning about great new technologies or even better ways to use existing technologies from organizations and other delegates.

Storage and Virtualization are things that have been top of mind for me lately and I look forward to discussing them with other attendees so that I can not only provide better information to you, the readers of this blog, but also so I can help the technical community at large with a different way of looking at a certain technology.

Thanks Gestalt IT for the selection as a delegate to Tech Field Day Seattle – see you in July.
