Last week, the biggest Microsoft IT Pro event in the Netherlands, Experts Live Netherlands, took place at Pathé Ede.

As this event takes place in the Netherlands, there was not a lot for me to take care of. So, on Tuesday morning I stepped into my car, set the satnav to Ede and enjoyed the ride there. I parked my car in the neighborhood, so I could recharge it and walked over to the venue.

As I walked in, I was greeted by familiar faces and with warm congratulations.

Apparently, my session was popular enough to be moved to the 1000+ seats ExpoTheater room, the same room as was used for the keynote. As I arrived during the keynote, I decided to take a look at my room during a break. Based on that experience, I decided to adjust my slide deck a bit in terms of text size.

But first… Interview time!

Erwin Derksen and I had a good laugh, as we spoke for about 15 minutes. I’m sure we added good material to the interview blooper reel, but we also discussed some real technical issues.

I took some pictures of Raymond’s session on ‘Hardening the Modern Windows Client, Let’s not break it this time…’ and evaluated the sound and picture from all angles of the ExpoTheater. Then, it was time for me to climb that stage to talk about multi-factor authentication and conditional access:

After my session, I talked to a couple of people, who had questions and enjoyed the conversation. Then, I headed home.

Thank you!

Thanks to all the people attending, sitting in on my session and, of course, the people who stuck around after my session for the interesting discussions. Thanks to the Experts Live organization for making their event better every year and, of course, my fellow speakers who are always fun to hang out with.
