TechEd 2012: the weirdest keynote ever

Sep 12, 2012

Conference kicks off in oddball style.

Dubbed 'Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants', the presentation eschewed typical keynote fare in favour of art house movies, electronica and moonwalking music conductors. The results were confounding at times, but never less than fascinating.
