Last Thursday (10 November 2005), I went to the Belgium Launch party of Visual Studio .Net 2005, SQL Server 2005 and BizTalk Server 2006.  The place to be was Court-St-Etienne.

There where a few speakers :
· Keynote by S. Somasegar, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Corporation
· Session 1 : Clemens Vasters, Chief Technology Officer, Newtelligence AG
· Session 2 : Astrid Hackenberg Trainer and advisor SQL Server, Class-A

Mr Somasegar did the kick-off the Belux Launch of SQL Server 2005, Visual Studio 2005 and BizTalk Server 2006

Session 1 gives us an insight in the new capabilities of Visual Studio 2005.  Session 2 presents us the new world of SQL Server 2005.

In between the sessions there where some great shows, to keep everybody ready.  Afterwards we had a walking dinner party.  And we closed the day with a great dance event.  I left the party around 12 o’clock in the night.  And still a few people (10-20) where partying. 

On the Launch site of Microsoft, you can find some pictures.  Go and see them.
