2007 AMD Microsoft Tech Tour Registration Now Open

written by John Chow on March 26th, 2007

Registration for the 2007 AMD Microsoft Tech Tour is now open. I missed this event last year because it happened while I was in Taipei for Computex. I had to send staff writers to cover it. This year, the Vancouver tour is happening on May 15th so I’ll be able to attend since I won’t be flying to Taipei until June 2nd.

If you have never attended an AMD Tech Tour, I highly recommend it. The tour is a lot of fun, there’s a lot of free stuff given away and a buffet dinner is included in the admission price. Speaking of admission price, here’s the best part – the price is zero! That’s right, the event is completely free to attend. The AMD Microsoft Tech Tour happens between April to June in 19 cities across the US and Canada. Find a closest tour to your city.

Just like last year’s Tech Tour, this year’s event will feature a nice hardware bundle that you can buy for just $349.00. That gets you an AMD Athlon 64 dual-core 4400+ CPU, ASUS M2A-VM with AMD 690G Chipset motherboard, and Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate OS. The bundle will be available for purchase at the event but only to system builders or resellers of Microsoft software, or employees of a Microsoft retail partner. I’ll find someway to qualify. :twisted:

The AMD Tech Tour is designed for resellers and system builders. You have to be in the industry if you want to attend this event. However, if you’re evil enough, you’ll figure a way to get in even if you’re not part the industry. I hope to see a few John Chow dot Com readers at the Vancouver Tech Tour.

Register for the 2007 AMD Microsoft Tech Tour.

  1. I remember AMD giving out freebies to attend their online webcasts with Sun and Microsoft. I sincerly hope they survive the difficulties they are facing now against Intel and rock their way through.
    AMD is one company I admire and have been using it since AMD 1700+XP (Throughbred) was released.

  2. You could build a nice little system starting with that. I would probably not qualify.

  3. AMD used to offer a desktop and server bundle. I guess either the lines between the two have blurred or times are tougher for them?

  4. What kind of free swag did your crew score at last years event, just curious?

  5. John I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that you’ll find a way to qualify ;)

  6. I’d love to check it out, but I’m too far away :(

  7. The last one I went to, I won a 74 and a 36 GB Western Digital Raptor Hard Drive. They shipped me the 36 GB one by mistake, and shipped me the 74 too. They told me to keep the 36 :twisted:

    I’m already signed up. See you all there ;)

  8. Wow. That’s a pretty sweet deal. Too bad I’m not quite in that industry (Network Engineer).

  9. Hoping I will be able to make it to this conference!
