Professional Developer Conference (PDC) has become a yearly conference that is now "the" premier event for developers to attend.  Growing on it's roots as a future technologies gathering. it's becoming more of an emerging technology conference.

 

With so many emerging technologies baked or close to coming out of the oven such Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, SQL Server 2008 R2, Azure Services, SharePoint 2010, Office 2010, Visual Studio 2010 and .Net 4.0 this conference is the place to put it all together.

 

We're seeing a movement where all developer technologies are being consolidated into the Visual Studio (VS) development environment, so no matter if you are a pure Microsoft technolgies  developer or also work with HTML/Javascript,  PHP or MySQL, VS is becoming your tool of choice.

 

With this expanding "Power of Choice" for developers, early access to these emerging technologies is critical.  Because of dwindling travel and conference budgets, choose wisely in selecting the conference to attend.  For my money this is the PDC taking place November 17-19 in Los Angeles, check it out at http://microsoftpdc.com.
