Only a bad person blogs about his or her presence at a conference only AFTER it took place: and this is all the more inappropriate from me if you consider that the guys were so incredibly kind to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/belux\/techdays\/2010\/default.aspx\">put my long face on their home page<\/a>! My only excuse, apart from being chronically overcommitted, is that my house good flooded. I know, I know, it sounds awfully like \u201cthe dog ate my homework\u201d, but it\u2019s true\u2026 the place is still without most walls, I\u2019ll eventually post some pics just for <em>fun<\/em>. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, better late than never. Last week I had <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/vbertocci\/archive\/2009\/03\/04\/identity-techdays-in-belgium-10-12-march-2009.aspx\">again<\/a> the honor &amp; privilege to present a WIF session at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/belux\/techdays\/2010\/default.aspx\">Belux TechDays<\/a>. I was already reminded by how amazing the Belgian audience is during the <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/vbertocci\/archive\/2010\/03\/04\/coming-to-a-city-near-you-windows-identity-foundation-developer-workshops.aspx\">WIF workshop<\/a> in Brussels (more about that in the future), during the session at Antwerp I once more dispelled the myth that the crowds there are cold and non-interactive: although <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/vbertocci\/archive\/2009\/06\/25\/video-putting-authentication-in-its-place-claim-based-identity-services-and-geneva.aspx\">this time I didn\u2019t pull out the sunglasses<\/a>, I did get nice chuckles for my <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/vbertocci\/archive\/2009\/11\/24\/windows-identity-foundation-overview-session-recording-drawing-on-slides-presentation-technique.aspx\">little pictures<\/a> and had the pleasure to hear people in the audience utter \u201cclaims!\u201d when asked to. Hint: when I ask something to the audience during a session, 98% of the times shouting \u201cclaims\u201d will do the job \ud83d\ude09 The video recording of the session, once more projected on the Antwerp multiplex cinema megascreen, will soon be available on Channel9: once it will be up I will update the post with the proper link.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/katriend\">Katrien<\/a>, Arlindo and all the DPE Belux stuff did a superb job in preparing the conference, as usual; thank you for having me again and congratulations for a very successful event!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>digg_url = &#8220;http:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/vbertocci\/archive\/2010\/04\/06\/identity-techdays-in-belgium-30-31-march-april-1st-2010.aspx&#8221;;digg_title = &#8220;Identity @ TechDays in Belgium, 30-31 March &amp; April 1st, 2010&#8221;;digg_bgcolor = &#8220;#FFFFFF&#8221;;digg_skin = &#8220;normal&#8221;;digg_url = undefined;digg_title = undefined;digg_bgcolor = undefined;digg_skin = undefined; I am evil.
