It’s that time of year my friends in Arizona.  No, I’m not talking about when the air conditioners start get turned on, nor how the golf green fee rates are reduced or the snowbirds fly away…although those are good things as well.

I’m talking geek fest time.  Mark your calendars:

26 May 2009 – 8:00 AM

The community leaders in the area have organized another big event for your benefit.  So who is coming?  Here’s the rundown:

Glenn Block – come see why you should get addicted to MEF.  Don’t know what it is?  That’s an even better reason to come.  If you haven’t learned about MEF, you’ll want to see what Glenn has to show and talk about…it’s quite cool.

Jaime Rodriguez – from the WPF side of the house, Jaime is coming to talk about WPF development and the continuum of reusing skills (and some code) from Silverlight and WPF development.  Want to know what is going on in the WPF world?  Come and ask Jaime. 

NOTE: Also don’t forget to register for the Phoenix WPF training event for free as well! Info here and Register here for the WPF LOB Tour.

And last but not least…

Scott Guthrie – he returns to brave the early heat of the desert!  Scott is ready to talk about Silverlight and ASP.NET MVC frameworks and what his teams are up to.  Bring your questions and take advantage of this opportunity to talk with the one responsible for building the web platform for Microsoft.

This truly sounds like a great event and one NOT TO MISS!  Tell your co-workers and friends.  This is a free event!  You can register for this event here.  Please come and spread the word to support this community event.  Your community leaders will thank you (and be able to do more things like this for the community).

Spread the word! REGISTER

Tim,
Do I have to be a Microsoft Partner to be able to register for the WPF LOB Tour?

Thanks,

Hi Tim,

Why don't Microsoft run these sort of events in Australia?
apart from "Tech-Ed" and "Re-Mix" not a lot of these sort of events happen for Developers in AU.

Can you tell me who I can talk to at MS to suggest MS-Australia do more of this sort of stuff?

With out Twitter and blogs such as yours (Jesse Liberty, Scott Hanselman, to name a few) I'd feel a lot less connected than I do currently, but I think there's a lot to be said for gatherings such as this one.
What a line up

Chris -- "Microsoft" isn't running this event -- this event is 100% organized, funded, sponsored, etc. by the community. The community leaders in Arizona work every year to put on several big events, establish relationships with those they want to invite, and gather sponsors.

Could you please, please, please tell your MS buddies to record and release videos similar to MIX09. Times are rough back home and can not get approval for these types of events. Thanks

Hi Tim,
yes, if this one could recorded and released videos like MIX09, the coumunities outside the US would appreciate it. Thanks.

Why is Microsoft running two different sites for Expression?

http://www.microsoft.com/expression/

http://expression.microsoft.com/

Kashif -- one is the product marketing site (download the product, product information, etc.) -- expression.microsoft.com is the community site -- user contributions, tutorials, etc.
