Frank Arrigo reported a couple of days ago here that tickets are almost sold out. So if you don't have your ticket yet, you need to buy it right now. In fact stop reading this post and buy it or else it could already be too late !

The post that Frank linked to by Berno here with the top 10 reasons to attend Tech.Ed is also good. I've got to agree with number #1, Tech.Ed is Frank Arrigo's final Australian committment before heading off to Seattle (see this post).
He's been instrumental leading the DPE team to get the developer community really rocking here in Aus.

While of course it's a shame to see him leave I'm excited to see all the awesome things he can achieve from the Microsoft Corporate Mothership. Plus I know the team he has built are more than up to keeping the roll going here. Finally I know with all his blogging and twitter we will still all keep up to date with what's happening even though he will be on the other side of the world :)

I think Frank deserves one hell of a good send off, so make sure when you see him at Tech.Ed you stop and say hello.
