In downtown Atlanta, we narrowed an impressive field of more than 300 submissions down to 15 winners
Microsoft TechEd took place in Atlanta, Georgia, this year - and a month earlier in the year, avoiding the oppressive heat that afflicted last year's humid New Orleans event. The Best of TechEd Awards recognize Microsoft partners that offer innovative products and services in the marketplace. Our judging panel narrowed an impressive field of more than 300 submissions down to 46 finalists in 16 categories. Onsite in Atlanta, the team interviewed the finalists and evaluated the products to determine a final list of winners. Show attendees also cast their votes to determine the winner of the prestigious Attendees' Pick Award. It was a fun week, capped off with a wonderful awards party at the aquarium. Congratulations to our 201 1 winners!
