Will you be getting your PDC on?

I'm really looking forward to PDC this year - some of the session outlines are up on the site already (cloud, building blocks, silverlight, Windows 7 etc.) . The last PDC I went to - 2005 was great - the first look at what SharePoint 2003 and MCMS would become ==> SharePoint 2007; I can't remember if Andrew Connell made it after he tried to blog his way to PDC 2005 (I think that was when he still worked for a bank and conferences weren’t classified as bizdev for him).

Lots of new experiences:

• I met the awesome guys from Telerik and hung out on their booth;
• I got to know the K2 team and saw BlackPearl at a super NDA event (I even got ID’d by Leah Clelland)
• Went to Santa Monica with the brains behind CMS Rapid from Artemis Corp (rode a Segway)

In fact September of 2005 was a crazy month, MVP summit, PDC, week with the SharePoint team and a week at BizTalk conference!

PDC this year will top 2005! Although instead of attending as a customer I'll be working on content so not as many festivities on the rooftop of The Standard as hard as last time (Light Beer in Australia means low alcohol not low calories and I met the Jai+Thom from Queer-Eye for the Straight guy – two separate stories not combined)
