IT event at University of Bahrain, and I am presenting!
![talking to furniture [practice] makes perfect](http://www.ahamshay.com/images/uploads/p_speak.jpg)
First off, today is Shutdown Day and apparently, I will not be participating this year. I need every minute I can with all the CPUs around me today.
April has been such a crazy month! Which brings me off to announce that tomorrow an IT event (a.k.a. Supernova) will kick off at the University of Bahrain in Sukhir campus. This event has been organized by the students of the IT department in the same university.
I was invited by Microsoft to present two sessions during the 5 day event that begins on May 4th until May 8, 2008. A closing ceremony will be on the 11th of May.
My first session will be tomorrow, at 11am, so if you’re around drop by! I will be talking about Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and in my second session on May 7th, also at 11am, I will be rambling about XNA Studio 2.0. Hopefully they’ll have some gamers out there in the audience, I have no idea! It will definitely be fun, I am bringing in an XBOX 360 for a lucky winner.

I’m expecting you to knock people out on this one! I love events like these, and the XBox 360 is a very nice touch for the students!

a presentation for Miscrosoft! that’s great! I’m sorry but I will not be arround during you’re presentation. But I wanted to wish you good luck for your presentation. Is it Microsoft how gave you the Xbox? How will you choose the lucky winner? Can I be the lucky winner even if I’m at paris right now?
Salam Alaykum and good luck again!

@Chaks, I really doubt there’d be a live feed! This is so not TechEd! Perhaps in the future I might visit New Zealand and present something there!
@Marzouq, I totally will! Waaah! It’s going to be fun!
@lucky luke, ehm, too bad you’re not around! Only attendees can win the XBOX. Yes, Microsoft will provide it for me. Thank you for your best wishes!!!

Thank you G for your best wishes. You’re in Bahrain?? Well, I’d scold you for not coming, but you didn’t miss anything. The event was canceled by the University itself, at the very last minute!

Sorry to hear the event was canceled! Does that mean you have an Xbox 360 sealed and waiting to be played?
