If you are in the Milwaukee area you need to think about attending Deeper in .NET 2006 on April 22nd this month.  You can see the information at http://www.wi-ineta.org/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=104

All of the speakers are good, but I should call out two of them for special consideration.  Scott Hanselman is someone I admire for his technical expertise, attitude, and sense of humor.  I've subscribed to his blog for over a year now, and I got a chance to see him speak about Software Factories at TechEd last year.  He's a great speaker.

Jason Beres is also a great speaker and a very technical and fun guy.  Also, I can attest that he is a formidable drinker of beer and has excellent taste in steaks. 

If you are in the area, you must come to Deeper in .NET 2006.
