By now you should already have noticed, after 10 years the ‘lost conference’ is back! Microsoft is organizing the Microsoft Exchange Conference in Orlando, Florida from September 24th to September 26th.

Three days of in-depth Exchange “15” sessions, directly from the Exchange Product Team. There will also be a serious presence of Exchange MVP’s and Exchange MCM’s as well. For more information, and to register visit the MEC 2010 website.

Now, Microsoft is also organizing the annual TechEd conferences in Orlando and in Amsterdam, but with less content when it comes to Exchange. There are six Exchange only sessions in Orlando and there are five Exchange only sessions in Amsterdam (I’m not looking at related products like FOPE and Office 365) and all sessions are based on Exchange 2010 SP2, no Exchange “15″ sessions at TechEd! The difference is that MEC has full attention from the product group and Microsoft will unveil Exchange “15” here. If you are an Exchange admin of consultant and looking to the future, MEC is the place to be. For more general sessions and other Microsoft IT Pro sessions you better go to TechEd.
