The success story [1] continues ... As you may remember I was judging the TechEd Speaker Idol competition last year in Barcelona. It was not only the great fun for all of us - we discovered an exceptional speaker Bart de Smet from Belgium who will rock the TechEd stage this year in Barcelona as a Speaker Idol winner and technical presenter.
