Accommodation at Tech·Ed 2009 – Hotel deals negotiated by Microsoft

To make Tech·Ed 2009 even more affordable, Microsoft has worked hard to negotiate substantial reductions on room rates at some of the Gold Coast’s top hotels. From standard studio-style hotel rooms, to suites and one or two bedroom apartments, room rates start as low as $120.00 per night. You could benefit from savings of as much as 50% off the full room rates!

Windows Live ID

For your security, Microsoft Tech·Ed 2009 registration uses Windows Live ID for authentication. Windows Live ID is the identity and authentication system provided by Windows Live. Windows Live ID uses powerful online security technology and follows a comprehensive privacy policy to help protect your account information. You will be able to use your Windows Live ID to access other conference services such as CommNet and Tech·Ed Online. If you do not have a Windows Live ID account you will have an opportunity to create one during the registration process.

Can’t access Windows Live from where you are? That’s ok- you can create a provisional login and password when registering. We’ll contact you after registration with an invitation to associate a Live ID to your provisional login. It will come in handy for some of the cool stuff we are planning to have at Tech·Ed this year.
