So, it happened, the first German Pocket PC Fan Fest was held in Hannover which was at least a European Fan Fest and I have to admit that it was such a great event! It was information, socializing, fun and dance and I think, we showed the US guys from Microsoft that the Europeans are also able to celebrate the Pocket PC! :-)

After Beth Goza and Stefanie Rothenbücher from Microsoft gave the instructions what to expect on this evening, the Fan Fest started. Like on the Fan Fests in the US (I was attending the NYC Fan Fest last year) there was also a Q&A person for problems available - in that case me as I was the only representative MVP. But why to write about an event where photos are available - have a closer look here and enjoy... :-)
