I believe that we have to “Learn everything we can, anytime we can, from anyone we can – there will always come a time when we will be grateful what we did.” so therefore I am very keen to attend this event. I don't miss any Microsoft event here in Karachi Pakistan and love to be part of this tremendous, informative and full of learning occasion.

Hi,
My name is Bashar Kokash a Computer systems engineer, I started using Microsoft development tools and technologies since 2000, Now I develop windows and web applications using the .NET framework stack, I've been following Microsoft's big events (MIX, Tech-Ed, and PDC) downloaded and watched all the vedios for those events, big fan of Scott Guthrie, Scott hanselman and Brad Adams. I've never attended such a big event for microsoft, and since this is the first big event for Microsoft in the Middle-East, I really think that being there will let me get more and more involved in the huge amount of technical innovations of Microsoft, also when I can help transfer that knowledge back to my friends and colleagues.
Regards

Because I had been using Microsoft Technology for the past 15 years , it’s my dream to attend the great event , Just last month I had attended Windows server 2008 R2 Launch in Abu Dhabi , after that we had updated to Windows Server 2008, SQL server 2008 and VS 2008 , I believe if I attend this event I can get a better feel about these technologies very well , more over I am maintaining a blog for Microsoft technology for the past 5 years , where I need to provide more support for the technologies which I am working , and I am a active member of ASP.Net forum ,and MSDN
With all this Qualities I believe I am perfectly suitable for this offer

I'm a leader at Palestinian .Net Developers [PalDev] Community , we are here in Palestine don't get the support from Microsoft as much as the other countries in the region get. Thus such conference will expose PalDev to the world and also we will gain a knowledge that we are willing to transfer it to the community when we get back through events and sessions. As we did when Microsoft gave us a Training on SharePoint in Jordan , when we got back we transfer the knowledge to the Community through 6 sessions. To be honest my financial status is not that good , as am individual that has no financial support. This conference will benefit our community and me personally also as community leader. The good thing that in dubai i have a place where i can stay ( the hotel expenses is not an issue to me ). If i got this one I'll be more than happy to go and meet all the community leaders and members across the Middle east.

I want to attend TechEd since it will be inspiring, not only for my, but also to my community.
I believe that sharing my knowledge with IT pros and students is the best way to enhance and inspire the whole community I live in.
I work for an IT center at PPU (university), we are working to enhance the level of both students and the Palestinian community through projects, events, workshops and training programs.
I'm also a member in many of the IT communities in Palestine including PalDev which is a .Net user group that used to hold events where the members share knowledge in variant IT fields.
