Next week, Microsoft TechEd and Apple WWDC will organize conferences for developers and IT professionals. These conferences will be hosted in separate venues. For Apple, it is in San Francisco, where it will be called WWDC, or Worldwide Developers Conference. For Microsoft, it will be held in New Orleans, dubbed as the TechEd.
The conferences will begin on June 7, which is a Monday. In a way, these events will further increase the growing competition between the two huge companies. It can be said that the two are different kinds of companies since Apple is more inclined to the consumers while Microsoft is more towards the world of business technology, but the line that distinguishes the two is slowly erasing, and the competition between the two increases.
The keynote speaker for TechEd will be Bob Muglia, who is the president of server and tools business of Microsoft. He will talk about the vision of Microsoft in terms of the future of cloud computing and information technology. Meanwhile, Steve Ballmer will speak for WWDC as rumored, but the keynote address will be delivered by Steve Jobs, the Apple CEO himself.
Specifically, these conferences will be held in the following venues. For WWDC, it will be at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. For TechEd, it will be at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, located in New Orleans.
