Microsoft Tech-Ed 2007 changed to Orlando

Microsoft has had to change the location of their annual technical conference, Tech-Ed, from New Orleans to Orlando. Unfortunately for New Orlean's recovery effort, Microsoft was not able to pull it off logistically. Here is Microsoft's statement on the change:

"Microsoft has made the difficult decision not to hold Tech·Ed 2007 in New Orleans. With this event drawing a large number of attendees from around the world and with the airlines only servicing the city with about half of their pre-Katrina flights, the logistics of moving that large a group into and out of the city is challenging and would likely result in travel and logistical challenges for attendees."

The dates for the conference will be June 4 - 8, 2007.
