A Special Message to My Friends Attending TechReady 14

Today’s the final day of TechReady 14, the 14th semi-annual internal training, briefing and information-sharing conference for Microsoft employees. The conference, which is typically attended by thousands of Microsofties from all over the world, swallows up the entire Washington State Convention Center and all the hotels in downtown Seattle. As you might expect, it’s mostly men.

My last TechReady was TechReady 12, which took place about this time last year. I think it will suffice to say that it was an eye-opening, life-changing experience.

A good number of friends and associates are at TechReady right now, and I’m sure they’ll understand when I say: “Have fun at the sausage party!”
