I had a great time in Berlin, Germany for TechEd Europe recently. Not only was the conference great, but it was also the 20th Anniversary of the Berlin Wall falling. I was very fortunate to attend both events (You can see some pics here).

I met a lot of great people on my trip! I heard a really great story from Bob Simms about how he got to TechEd. Turns out he had arrived at TechEd on a bus! He made a Camtasia Studio video that won him a prestigious award from Microsoft and a free trip to TechEd Europe with a bus tour!

I got a quick interview with Bob from the Expo floor. He shared with me his story about how he won the Bus Trip with Camtasia Studio. The video runs just over 2 minutes.

You can see Bob's award winning video here that got him on the bus.

Also, check out another one of Bob's videos below. Bob sent me a video that got him into the heats of the Speaker Idol competition at TechEd (you can see the Camtasia Studio portion around the 2 minute mark)! I love how Bob uses beer to illustrate his example!

Check out Bob's travel diary from his bus trip to TechEd Europe here.

Congrats on your winnings, Bob! Very creative use of Camtasia Studio!

Have your screencasts won you anything?
