The entire content team worked their magic to release the list of Technical Tracks and full descriptions with key product lists before the $300 Super Early Bird savings expire on December 31. The 12 official Technical Tracks for TechEd 2012 are...insert drum roll here...

All the details are available on the new Technical Tracks page. Make sure you share the link with your decision maker in order to augment our existing convince your boss talking points.

How to use the Technical Tracks?
After doing a small poll last year, I did realize it's rare for attendees to only add sessions and labs within one Track to their schedule. This makes sense as many products cross multiple Tracks. So you may ask yourself, what's the real purpose of the Tracks? They are meant to serve as a navigation tool (for you and for us) for the 90+ product families discussed at TechEd.

It makes sense, right?! Filtering content on 12 categories is a lot more reasonable than 90+. Of course, I'm curious, if that's how you use the Tracks. Do you find them a useful tool in building your TechEd experience?

What's Next?
Next up for the content team is the release of the Pre-Conference Seminars. These day-long seminars occur the Sunday before the event, June 10, and will provide a comprehensive overview of a popular technology. The additional registration fee is $400 for registered attendees and $500 for non-registered attendees. More to come on Pre-Cons in early January...
