A message to Denis Pitcher

Denis Pitcher,

You posted this comment on my blog and some other blogs:

Devteach's promotion for a one year MSDN subscription was not honoured and attempts to contact them result in a "we sent attendee info to MS, it's not our problem" response while attempts to contact Microsoft result in the suggestion that any queries should be redirect to Devteach.

Hopefully not all attendees we're cheated though if you're considering attending a future Devteach it is recommended that you don't hold any expectation that they'll honour their promotions.

I spoke to Jean-René Roy, DevTeach organizer and also to MSDN Canada folks.  Looks like the email you used to register for the conference is now bouncing (maybe a typo when you registered?).  That why you haven’t received any news about the offer.  The fact that you’re leaving the same comment on various blogs without your email address doesn’t help at all.  Thay want to contact you!  Also, looks like they never received your emails, maybe you used a the wrong email addresses.

Anyway, please contact Jean-René Roy at Info4You@devteach.com ASAP.

  • Thanks for the feedback Guy. I'd actually been talking back and forth with Jean-René Roy for a couple months and simply stopped receiving responses. Not sure what difficulties were encountered with regards to the email address, my main email address that I registered with still works as does my gmail, both of which I'd corresponded with Mr. Roy via.

    None the less, Mr. Roy has now gotten in contact to say he's resubmitted my details to Microsoft and should be receiving and email from them shortly. I've also confirmed that my email address registered on the Devteach has now been changed to my gmail address.

    Hopefully things will work out as I'd tried everything else possible before resorting to make my grievance public as I found it to be quite a good conference barring a few understandable hiccups.

    As for leaving emails there wasn't a field to do so and I didn't want to post it publicly. It's pretty simple should you need to in the future, denis.pitcher at gmail or mail@ my name .com

  • Hi Guy,

    Thanks again for your assistance. Between DevTeach and some helpful reps at Microsoft I'm pleased to say that it has been sorted out and I now have my subscription.
