# Altova at TechEd

[Microsoft TechEd 2008](http://www.microsoft.com/events/teched2008/) is presently underway in Orlando, FL, and this year the show has been split into two separate events: TechEd for Developers is coming to an end tomorrow, and next week we have TechEd for IT Professionals. [Altova](http://www.altova.com) is sponsoring both events and we invite you to visit us at booth# 1114 to see the [latest new features in version 2008r2](https://www.altova.com/whatsnew.html) of our developer tools. We'll be happy show you the new [Open XML (OOXML)](https://www.altova.com/dev_portal_ooxml.html) features introduced in [MapForce](https://www.altova.com/products/mapforce/data_mapping.html "Data Mapping, Transformation, and Integration Tool"), [StyleVision](https://www.altova.com/products/stylevision/xslt_stylesheet_designer.html "Graphical Stylesheet Designer"), and [DiffDog](https://www.altova.com/products/diffdog/diff_merge_tool.html "Differencing and Merge Utility"), as well as the new support for C# 3.0 and Visual Basic 9 in our [UML modeling tool](https://www.altova.com/products/umodel/uml_tool.html), [UModel](https://www.altova.com/products/umodel/uml_tool.html).
