Thanks Tanzim vi for sharing your slide. I am glad to found another speaker on this forum. Welcome to MSDN Bangladesh.

The presentations of Mr Omar Al Zabir and Mr Ashraful Alam was really great. No doubt and no alternate. Really grateful for such an arrangement.
The rest of the presenter were not that bad but I believe, they could have done lot better if they'd practice (rehearsal) a bit before coming to the audience.
Also, the time management and overall organizing of the program was not up-to-the-mark. T-shirts, CDs and other provided items were not good in quality, standards and quantity in respect to the audiences as well as the program.
At least, a level of discipline and standard should have been maintained in the overall organizing of the program.
Anywayz, hope that these issues will be taken care in the future upcoming programs. Assistance from the experienced, should be taken in the respective fields.
Lastly, warm regards and best wishes to them who dared to take such initiative. May Allah bless us with such initiatives with fruitful sessions.
thnx
I am totally agree with skaalexander that Mr Omar Al Zabir and Mr Ashraful Alam was really great. CDs and other provided items were not good in quantity in respect to the audiences as well as the event. level of discipline and standard should have been maintained by not only organizer but also all the participants. I am also hope those issues will be taken care in the future upcoming events by all.
Thanks all for your valuable inputs. We'll be considering these inputs on our next event.

Success story from Microsoft Day @ Dhaka: http://weblogs.asp.net/tanzimsaqib/archive/2009/06/24/success-story-from-microsoft-day-dhaka.aspx
Hi Tanzim vi, I have just read your Success story from Microsoft Day @ Dhaka. In there you write "One really positive point they made was it's a wonderful opportunity for them to do business networking with the industry's developers. One of them showed me bunch of his business cards he brought that day with him!". Yes this kind of event it is most common thing we do. We had gathered to know each other. But we did not able to do this very well for tight schedule. If in future event, you are given 15 to 30 min. for self introduce session to each other. It will be great. Yes I know, we should do this by our own. But ...someone needs to take first step, right?
I attended Microsoft conferences/seminars at home and abroad. I did not experience "networking hour" anywhere. I can barely imagine that is common. What I experienced at Microsoft Day @ Dhaka, several individuals came to me purely for networking while we were having lunch. This is how it works everywhere. After all, nothing is preventing the attendees to network among themselves, isn't it? I understand such events are not so common in Bangladesh. I hope it will be OK. And then again since it was arranged by MVPs, *NOT* by Microsoft, I would really like to appreciate their efforts and hard work and wish good luck on next one.
