I'm back from some much needed time off, and here's an interesting idea that was sitting in my inbox on my return.

Check out the .NET Developer Virtual Conference, October 28 - 30, 2008, online everywhere. The conference is a very reasonable $100 for three days of content, with more than 30 how-to sessions. Julie Yack is the conference chair, and she got the idea after being very impressed with a SQL virtual conference she attended.

The speaker roster includes Ani Babaian, Rob Bagby, Kathleen Dollard, Scott Golightly, Tim Heuer, Ben Hoelting, Tim Huckaby, Dr. Neil Roodyn, Chris Sutton, and David Yack. That's quite some line-up.

Julie also volunteers with INETA, so if you are a member of an INETA user group, ask your user group president to contact Julie for a special discount.
