Surat User Group (IT Pro community) in association with
DotNetChaps (Developer community). The event was organized at Umra Police Station auditorium and 150+ participants were registered for the event. You can see the event photographs
We had 80+ attendees inspite of heavy rain in the morning, we've got a mix of students, developers, IT Pro and lecturers from various institutes. We had 5 speakers who delivered power packed sessions on new technlogies, I spoke on ROW/Page compression in SQL Server 2008 and Virtualization 360 , Mrityunjaya Kumar spoke on Silverlight 3.0 and Windows 7 for Developers, Dhaval Faria spoke on What's new in .Net framework 4.0: VS 2010 and Aviraj Ajgekar spoke on Windows Server 2009 RC2.
It was really nice experience for me, all the technical sessions has got 4 out 5 rating and participants suggested to have more events in the future.
