I have the privilege for the second year in a row of speaking at the Fox Valley Day of .NET.  Last year the event was a little later in the year (or MIX was earlier?) and I gave the keynote as part of the MIX It Up! tour.  This year I am actually going to MIX so maybe I’ll have to come back.

I will be giving the MEF talk I mentioned not too long ago and while I will have some good Silverlight content this is more about MEF itself.  The guys up there are gracious hosts and I am looking forward to getting up there and sharing one of my favorite new technologies.

If MEF is not your thing, please consider seeing my colleague Christopher Barwick’s talk on Business Intelligence: “BI: from Database to Warehouse  to OLAP to Excel with SQL Server 2008 & Excel 2007” running in the same time slot as my presentation.  Chris has really been stepping up his involvement in the community and he has a lot to share.

For my part I will be watching Dave Bost talk about Silverlight 4 right after my talk.  While I imagine I’ve already consumed this content I can’t get enough Silverlight and Dave is a good presenter so I’ll be sitting in.

Please check out their site and come see us!  They have a lot of swag this year so your chances of coming home with something extremely useful are very good.
