Browsing through the Microsoft Partners site as I an wont to do at times, I found a link to their Security Summit, coming here to North Carolina next month, and then on to 18 cities in other states into the summer.  If you thought DevDays was a great value for what they gave you (I didn't go - wasn't worth the 3 hour drive to get what seemed to me to be a mini-PDC overview), then absolutely consider heading out for this.

It's not just development this time; in fact, there's only one development track through the day.  The other two tracks are for IT Professionals - an intermediate and advanced track it would seem.  I'll most likely mix and match between the advanced IT sessions and the dev sessions through the day - after all, I bounce back and forth in a normal workday, so why not do it for the training too.

For all of you wondering if you can convince your boss to let you out for another day after DevDays - be sure to include in your pitch that the Security Summit is 100% free.  That's right, for the low, low price of $0.00 you can attend - but only if you register before your city's space fills up.

I'll be in Raleigh on April 8th, still unsure if I'll don my PDC blogger t-shirt for the event... have any of you dared wear that shirt outside of the LA Convention Center?  Anyway, if you're going to be there too, drop me a line - maybe we can swing a blogger meetup.
