Voted Best Speaker at Microsoft TechEd

(And Mark Russinovich Was There!)

Wow! I’m still buzzing from the incredible experience at Microsoft TechEd. Not only did I have the opportunity to present alongside some of the brightest minds in the industry (including the legendary Mark Russinovich!), but my session was voted the best by the 2000+ attendees! 🤯

Honestly, I’m blown away. To receive this kind of recognition from such a knowledgeable and engaged audience is truly an honor. It’s especially humbling considering the caliber of speakers at the event.

What Made My Session Stand Out?

While I can’t say for sure why my session resonated so strongly, I believe a few factors contributed to its success:

• Real-world focus: I always strive to make my presentations practical and relevant to the challenges faced by security professionals in their day-to-day work.
• Engaging delivery: I’m passionate about cybersecurity, and I think that energy translates into my presentations. I try to make them interactive, informative, and (dare I say) even a little bit entertaining.
• Unique insights: I’ve been fortunate to have a diverse career in cybersecurity, which has given me a unique perspective on the evolving threat landscape and the strategies needed to stay ahead.

More Than Just an Award

This recognition means the world to me. It validates the hard work I put into crafting my presentations and sharing my knowledge with the community. It also motivates me to continue pushing the boundaries and delivering even more valuable content in the future.

A Big Thank You!

Of course, none of this would be possible without the support of the amazing TechEd audience. Thank you all for your attendance, your engagement, and your votes. It was an absolute privilege to connect with you all.

What’s Next?

I’m already brainstorming ideas for my next presentations and looking forward to sharing more insights with the cybersecurity community. Stay tuned for upcoming events and new content on my blog!
