[UPDATE: Julie from Keane (formerly Metro . . . those were the days!) has won the conference pass and we'll see her in DC next week! To the various respondants, we wanted to keep the free pass within the WeProgram.Net membership. If nobody claimed it “in-house,“ then we would have gladly passed it on to you.]
Something developed last minute and we just sent an email offering a free Devscovery conference pass to the WeProgram.Net folks, courtesy of Wintellect, and I'm curious to see what sort of response it garners. The catch is that the conference starts next Tuesday and is in Washington DC; it requires the pass winner to be able to drop any plans for next week and head 3 hours north to the conference for Tuesday - Thursday.
The agenda is packed with interesting .Net topics and I know many people who would love to go, but have time commitments to customers that prevent them from using the free pass. That's a tough spot to be in . . . free conference passes don't come around all that often and it's hard to say “no thanks.“
That being said, there's already been 2 respondents who want their names in the hat. If you've been to a WeProgram.Net meeting and want in on the action, just respond to this post asap.
In reviewing the session agenda, I'm thinking it will be hard to pass up anything John Robbins presents after his dynamite talk a few weeks back. I'm also interested in the performance and threading sessions, and security . . . speaking of which, Brian “Andretti“ Lamprecht has some security demos he's been meaning to get me.
For those of you not in the mid-atlantic region, Devscovery is hitting Austin, Atlanta, and Redmond later this year.
Happy .Netting!
