I'm flying out tomorrow for the two Teched conferences (Auckland and Sydney) which I'm speaking at. Both look like fun conferences with lots of cool sessions on Vista, O12 Client/Server and CRM! I was hoping to take part in Frank's blogger panel in Sydney but unforunately I'll still be in Auckland. If you are around you should check it out. I have to say the Australian MSFT blogs have been really helpful in planning my trips - so a bit thanks to: Frank Arrigo, Andrew Coates, Michael Kleef and Dave Lemphers.

Speaking of Dave Lemphers I saw over his blog a while back that the speaker dress code is the standard Microsoft Conference attire. I feel like a bit of a fraud when I have to dress like that. It's not like we dress ANYTHING like that at work (OK maybe a few of the marketroids do). Our Customers/Partners have a pretty good idea of how we dress (ie. sloppy and cheap). I think they would appreciate us being presented in our natural state. Unfortunately I don't feel important (or arrogant) enough to rebel against code. I'll be packing my Microsoft blue shit and black pants.

However the next conference I'll make it a condition of my speaking that I get a pass from the dress code :)
