Well I'm soo.. excited. I attended PDC back in 2005 and the information I learnt there was a great basis for the next three years, so I have great expectation on this year's event - PDC 2008 in LA.
I'm usually so busy leading up to conferences, that I don't get to choose my sessions until the day before, but I have some time next week to really enjoy the event before I arrive and ponder over the 188 sessions available. You should too. Go to the PDC Session page, sign-in and click on My Sessions. Although SharePoint/Office is not the main focus this time round, there will be 5 SharePoint sessions - see Paul Andrew's blog "SharePoint at the Microsoft PDC 2008 ". Make sure you sign up for them, they all look very interesting. I'll also be attending one of the Pre-conference sessions, Creating Rich Internet Applications with Silverlight, and then there is the Hands-on Labs (HOLs) - as usual too much to do in 5 days. Also all attendees are to receive a PDC2008-branded, 160GB external hard drive loaded with software!!! Can it better - well yes ->
Andrew Connell is co-ordinating the SharePoint by Day, SharePint by Night event at PDC, sign-up if you are going to attend by leaving a comment on Andrew's blog. I've heard about these evenings, but never attended - another session to look forward too.
The other UK SharePoint MVP that will be attending besides myself (Penny Coventry) are Spence Harbar, Benn Robb and Andrew Woodward. See you there.
