Hello James,
Let's meet at TechEd Europe in Berlin next week! MCT Europe will be there to meet you all, and every MCT that is not yet a member. Our booth "MCT Ambassadors" will help you sign-up your MCT friends (its free!), help you navigate the many benefits that we have (like free VMWare licenses, 20% on all Best Western Hotels world wide and more) and just to introduce you to your peers. Let our booth be you water hole and starting point during the event.

This is a important event for us since it will let you meet us and us meeting you. Together we will be able to further form the future of MCT Europe and what our efforts should focus on next. If you have some time over please go by and stay and chat in the coolest booth (ours =) in the Connect Lounge (we are right next to GITCA, INETA and the TechNet Stage). The event will let us show that our community is vibrant and alive and that beeing a MCT is about the coolest thing you can do!

Let us talk about the new Certified Trainer program we have (and have gotten approved from microsoft) for new trainers, let us talk about next years summit (yes there will be another live summit next year, and we will decide the location right after teched based on many things - your feedback at teched beeing a important one), let us talk about content workshop roundtables, quality discussions and many other things. Let us also talk about the springboard tour which we participated in troughout europe. Let us talk. And bring your collegues.

The chance to be at TechEd this year is after hard work of many of our members, a special thank-you to Martin Fahr, Andrew Bettany, Chris Rhodes, Mattias Lind and Tiberiu Covaci and many more who helped me realize our precense. But we still need you help - be there and make some noice. MCTs should be heard and seen. This is a great time to do just that. I have personally payed over €2200 (Yes, I almost was killed by my wife) just so that we would get a spot on the exhibit floor - and if you would like to help us with the expenses, please goto Donations on our site and contribute. Any small donation is appreciated!

Thank-you all for joining the largest and most vibrant MCT Community in the world. (And yes, anyone may join even if they do not live in Europe!).

Kind regards
Daniel Sörlöv
MCT Europe Community Lead
