Any one from Microsoft can confirm if there is going to be a PDC 2011? Many Microsoft hosted conferences (Mix, TechEd, SharePoint Conference) already have set dates... If there's going to be a PDC this year, knowing the date early will help planing for the attending (since regisration for corp. attendees like me required budget + travel planning and approvals)...

I'd be very surprised if there wasn't, since they'll have Windows 8, VS2012, .NET 4.5, Silverlight 5 to show.

@hchwa: the one I went to is around October . May be it wi be in the same month
-
there has to be. its really a busy and critical year for microsoft and devdiv, they really need to win the developers for their new platforms: the phone, the tablets, the cloud, all the marketplaces, using the new frameworks: the native, the managed, and the web. apps are everything. only developers can save them.

Mary Jo Foley is saying:
"...and a beta around the time of this year’s Professional Developers Conference —
which I’m still hearing is slated for September 2011..." -
More news to come regarding PDC in April/May my source said....
-
My guess would be Oct / Nov. Don't forget we have Mix 11 in April.
-
Microsoft just announced PDC will take place in September 2011 in Anaheim, CA.
-
No. Microsoft announced that the next developer conference will be then. They very carefully avoided mentioning PDC.
-
It will be great if MS can set PDC 2011 next to VS Live!
-
It seems like the September event is going be a rebranded PDC. Perhaps MS wants to start attracting the hobbyist and hacker developer communities by eliminating the "Professional" part of PDC.
-
maybe Windows Developers Conference, as some guessed.
Last time at Anaheim, we got Win32 and OLE2, Chicago and Cairo, expect something similiarly important for this one.
