In this week’s episode, Mike & Jennifer talk about how to keep up with PDC news via Twitter, highlight the 7 deep-dive Workshops being offered this year, remind folks that students and professors qualify for a great PDC academic discount (only $595!), and begin to talk about the Birds of a Feather sessions. But, only so much can be squeezed into ten short minutes, so I guess you’ll have to watch next week’s episode to hear the rest of that sentence. http://microsoftpdc.com/

Mike, why don't you just tell us how many people signed up? And how many tickets are available?

Love the teaser at the end Jennifer.

It would be nice also to have some no-slide sessions. I know that might sound weird, but the session Scott Hanselman did at MIX09 where he didn't really have any slides and basically stayed in VS to entire time was wicked.

CKurt...I've already had a couple of people ask me about the Hardhat Challenges. I'm actually surprised that folks remember them! I'd love to hear comments from anyone who'd like the challenges to return. If there's enough interest, I'll see what I can do.

ZippyV...sorry, but we don't share exact numbers. I can tell you that the number is > 1 and < 15,000 though. You can kick me at PDC09.
