I never went to Tech*Ed, but I've been to the two DevTeach and I definitly recommend DevTeach. It's pretty cheap compared to Tech*Ed and you will learn a lot.

Now, being from Montreal, if you offer me Tech*Ed for free (registration, plane, hotel...), I may chose it just for the travel ;)

>I have to make a decision today on which of these two to attend. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Please let me know why you would prefer one over the other.
