The Ann Arbor Day of .NET is just over a week away!  We have finalized the agenda and you can find it here:

http://www.dayofdotnet.org/AnnArbor/Fall2008/Agenda.aspx

There are a lot of great sessions and it is sure to be the best Ann Arbor Day of .NET yet.  Hope to see you there!

We have completed the speaker/session selection for fall 2008 Day of .NET in Ann Arbor that takes place on October 18, 2008.  The fall Call for Speakers was extremely successful, resulting in far more submissions than we have timeslots for.  This is a good problem to have, but makes it very tough to choose the perfect combination of sessions.

You can view the completed session list at: http://www.dayofdotnet.org/AnnArbor/Fall2008/Sessions.aspx

And remember to register early, we set the cap on registrations at 250 and we expect to have a full conference again this year. You can register here: http://www.dayofdotnet.org/AnnArbor/Fall2008/Registration.aspx

 

Registration is now open for the Day of .NET in Ann Arbor.  Past events have filled up quickly, so register today.  And please, please if you find out you can't make it please use the cancellation link at the bottom of your confirmation email to cancel your registration so somebody can take your place.

Also, speaker submissions are due by September 19 and we're hoping to have a preliminary session list out in the next week.

This year will no doubt be the best event yet!!!

We have a last second session change due to the tornadoes in Michigan on Thursday.  David White's "Building Emulator Images for Kicks with Windows Mobile 6" session will not take place.  Instead we will have Chris Woodruff presenting "Microsoft Project Astoria" which is sure to be a great session.  Check out the complete agenda at: http://www.dayofdotnet.org/AnnArbor/Fall2007/Agenda.aspx

The Day of .NET in Ann Arbor has reached its registration cap, and is not able to accept any new registrations until spots free up.

Thanks for your cooperation!  See you Saturday!

The agenda for this fall's Day of .NET in Ann Arbor (October 20, 2007) has been posted. 

The conference is now just 18 days away and with 190+ registrants already and 19 different speakers on a slew of different topics it's sure to be a great event.  Can't wait to see you there!

Registration is currently open, and the event costs nothing to attend.

The complete list of sessions for this fall's Day of .NET in Ann Arbor (October 20, 2007) have been posted. 

The selection process as always was extremely difficult, but we managed to fill the 20 timeslots.  We hope that the blend of topics that were selected will appeal to the widest range of audience, from the novice beginner to the most advanced coding Guru, and from those looking for information on the newest whiz-bang technology coming out of Redmond to those who need insight into the more "everyday" products and tools.

There certainly is something for everyone at this fall's event, and we have no doubt that Day of .NET in Ann Arbor will turn out to be an outstanding conference once again.

The agenda for the fall Day of .Net will be finalized and posted next week.

Registration is currently open, and the event costs nothing to attend.

We're busy trying to finalize the speaker/session selection for fall 2007 Day of .NET in Ann Arbor that takes place on October 20, 2007.  The fall Call for Speakers was extremely successful, resulting in far more submissions than we have timeslots for.  This is a good problem to have, but makes it very tough to choose the perfect combination of sessions.

As a sneak preview, though, the first ten sessions from the selection process, have been posted to the website:

Look for the remaining sessions to be announced in the near future.

Day of .Net in Ann Arbor Fall 2007

Day of .NET in Ann Arbor is a one-day conference on all things .NET organized by developers for developers. This event is being offered at no cost to anyone interested in .NET development, and will take place on October 20, 2007 at Washtenaw Community College in Ann Arbor, MI.

Even though this event is being offered at no cost to anyone interested in .NET development, registration is required to attend so we can better estimate food and other expenses.  Also by registering and you will recieve a T-shirt at the conference.  To register visit:  http://www.dayofdotnet.org/AnnArbor/Fall2007/Registration.aspx

And after you register don't forget to display our badge on your blog or website, you can get one at: http://www.dayofdotnet.org/AnnArbor/Fall2007/badges.aspx

 

Just announced, the Day of .Net in Ann Arbor will have a second conference this year!  The date is October 20, 2007 and will be held again at Washtenaw Community College in Ann Arbor, Mi.  You can find more details at http://www.dayofdotnet.org

The Day of .NET in Ann Arbor 2007 has come and gone.  What a great event it turned out to be!

Thank you to the 205 (!) people who attended, including registered attendees, speakers, organizers, on-site sponsors, and even a few walk-ins.  Despite an issue with the air conditioning, everyone seems to have had a blast, and all indications are that we'll have even more people at the next event!

Speaking of the next Day of .NET in Ann Arbor, there is a possibility that we will hold the event twice a year, or move the event to the fall instead of the spring.  Stay tuned as the organizers debate the various options and come to a conclusion...

Our goal is to make DoDN the premier developer conference in this area (if it isn't already), and we think that we're definitely on the right track.  This event would not be possible, and definitely would not be free for our attendees, if it weren't for the many sponsors that we had.  Please take the time to become familiar with their offerings, and if you happen upon one of these companies at a tradeshow, then please mention how much you appreciate their support of the developer community.

Also, if you haven't already, please participate in the Google Group that was created for this event:

Again, thank you to everyone who participated in the Day of .NET in Ann Arbor 2007, and we hope to see you the next time!

Two of our sessions with Windows Mobile themes were inadvertantly scheduled for the same timeslot.  To avoid these sessions from competing with one another for the same audience, we have swapped one of them with an earlier timeslot's session.

Dan Hibbitt's "Good Things Come in Small Packages: The Mobile Client Software Factory" session will now be taking place at 9:00 AM.

Brian Sherwin's "Avoiding Database Entropy" session will now be taking place at 12:50 PM.

The part of Drew Robbins in "What's New in Internet Information Services 7" is now being played by Michael Hacker from Sogeti. 

All of the other details on this session remain the same:

The complete list of sessions for this year's Day of .NET in Ann Arbor (May 5, 2007) have been posted. 

The selection process was extremely difficult, chiefly because we had around 50 excellent submissions, but only 20 timeslots to fill.  We hope that the blend of topics that were selected will appeal to the widest range of audience, from the novice beginner to the most advanced coding Guru, and from those looking for information on the newest whiz-bang technology coming out of Redmond to those who need insight into the more "everyday" products and tools.

Also, for the second year in a row, we will have the pleasure to watch the brilliantly funny (and wickedly smart) Mark Miller from Developer Express and Mondays give a few presentations that he also performs for much larger (and definitely more expensive) conferences, like DevConnections and SD West.

There certainly is something for everyone at this year's event, and we have no doubt that Day of .NET in Ann Arbor 2007 will turn out to be an outstanding conference that will have people talking until this time next year.

Registration is currently open, and the event costs nothing to attend.
