A few people have asked what we plan to do about the annual Enterprise Geeks dinner at TechEd this year. I’m afraid I have good news and bad news on that topic.
First the bad news: we are not planning to have an Enterprise Geeks organized dinner at TechEd Las Vegas this year. I will be the only one of the Enterprise Geeks founding members in attendance at TechEd Las Vegas this year. Let’s face it, without Rich’s leadership on getting the Buffet planning going, it becase less and less likely that we would be able to have the dinner. Add to that the fact that the podcast won’t be restarting until our first live recording from TechEd Las Vegas and we were left with little chance to promote the dinner. I still plan to go to the buffet at the Wynn before the concert on Thursday night if anyone wants to join me, but we won’t be trying to reserve a big block of tables as in years past.
Now the good news: for the first time we will be brining the Enterprise Geeks dinner to TechEd in Europe. Both Rich and I will be there and we are already starting planning for the dinner. We are open to suggestions, especially from anyone who lives or who has travelled to Madrid. Since TechEd Madrid doesn’t occur until November, this should give us plenty of time to plan.
So while plans didn’t allow us to continue this tradition in Las Vegas this year, we are bringing the fabled Enterprise Geeks dinner to a new geography this year. With any luck we will be able to have the dinner across all TechEd locations some day.

On the last full day of TechEd, you can tell that everyone is a bit delirious from a long, crazy week in this final live podcast. We got to talk to John Astill about his demo jam experience, Rui Nogueira about code exchange, and then Tony de Thomasis decided to grace us with a special video that caused quite a scene. Enjoy.

On Day 2, we sat down with SAP CIO Oliver Bussmann to discuss the strategy, joys, and pressures of supporting the SAP IT infrastructure as well as setting the example to others as an SAP Customer. Mr. Bussmann is also active on Twitter, so you can check him out as @sapcio.

We had another great turnout for our day 2, live podcast recording. In this episode, we had the pleasure of interviewing demo jam winners and fellow egheads Matt Harding and Al Templeton. Matt and Al talk about the technical details as well as the overall experience. They seem to have let the victory get to their heads a little as they decide to throw down a personal challenge to both Ed and Thomas for a demo jam showdown in next years Mastering SAP Technologies event in Australia. Watch the replay of their demo here.
