If you have ever wanted fame (& perhaps fortune) - this is your opportunity! We are giving away one MSDN Premium subscription and other prizes for presenters (judged by evals from attendees).

Each session should be about 90mins in duration and the content should be on developer topics that would be of interest to attending developers. Just about anything in .NET and other Microsoft technologies!

Choose a .NET topic of interest and send a brief abstract or outline, your developer experience, expected audience level, etc or any other questions to ctdotnet@gmail.com

Our thanks to New Horizons Computer Learning Center for sponsoring our event.

Chris Bowen's Blog : The Roadshow Rides Again! - May/June Edition

Kathleen Anderson — Fri, 02 May 2008 23:28:18 GMT

The Northeast Roadshow
We're at it again! It's time to pack our laptops and gear to head out across the northeast for our fifth Roadshow! Only this time, you're getting three of us for the price of, well, zero - the events are free after all... Jim O'Neil, our new colleague here in the northeast, is joining Bob and me as we set out to tour various cities, bringing you deep developer and architect content. And some giveaways as well, of course.
What's the Roadshow?
Starting with our first one in March of 2007, the Roadshow is our chance to head out to various parts of the northeast to reach the broader community. In these free full-day events, we bring you deep technical content including not just the "how to", but also discussion of why and when you may consider technology and practices. We're also hugely entertaining, especially when failing to hit our marks as we throw things into the audience.
Where? When?

May 22 - Williston, VT

May 28 - Westbrook, ME

May 29 - Waltham, MA

June 10 - Rochester, NY

June 12 - Farmington, CT**

How?

Register today (venue details and links below) - it's free - and join us for a relaxed day of low-fluff, high-signal content for developers and architects!
Note that some cities consistently hit capacity, so don't wait to register.
