Microsoft just announced today that the Mobile and Embedded DevCon (MEDC) will no longer be held - MEDC 2007 held last May in Las Vegas was the final run of the event.
The developer-related Windows Mobile content that would normally be delivered at MEDC will now be delivered at the new Tech-Ed 2008 Developer Conference - embedded systems-related content will be delivered at the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) West.
It was really just a matter of time before this happened. As mobile device development goes increasingly mainstream, it makes a lot of sense for the Windows Mobile-related content to be presented at the Tech-Ed 2008 Developer Conference, the conference that people go to for just about all of their other Microsoft-oriented developer-related content.
Even though the decision makes sense, I am a bit sad to see MEDC end. It's been great fun being at such a close-knit event every year - not really many events like MEDC left.
The times they are-a changin'
