It makes me feel awesome when i talk about a new technology, especially technology like Microsoft Digit, Microsoft Surface, Google Glass.
One of such event was the 'Intro to Microsoft Surface'. Engineers gathered in a college auditorium and I got the opportunity to share with the about the Microsoft Surface.
I have in touch with a few MSPs and MVP who have been a great support for helping me out to get inspired to do such events.

About Surface:
Surface is a series of tablet computers designed and created by Microsoft and running Windows. Announced on June 18, 2012 by the then CEO, Steve Ballmer at a Los Angeles event in Milk Studios, Surface was the first major initiative by Microsoft to integrate its Windows operating system with its own hardware, and is the first PC designed and distributed solely by Microsoft. Windows utilizes Surface's multi-touch screen with a virtual typing and handwriting keyboard, Bluetooth capability,Wifi, and in some models cellular connectivity. The Surface has a rear camera and front-facing Skype camera that can be used to capture photos, videos,as well as panoramas. The device can send email, play games, create & store documents, and playback movies and music. Surface is preloaded with basic apps such as music, video, mail, contacts, calendar, browser, health, sports, weather, and news. There are two versions of Surface, Surface and Surface Pro.
