Virtual Conferences - plug for SSWUG

At Microsoft we don't often plug products or services, but I wanted to point out the V-Conference they are conducting over at SSWUG. If your travel budgets have fallen apart (as most people's have), this is a great, inexpensive way to get the same kind of content you would get at an "in-person" conference. As a former speaker, I was impressed by the fact that the speakers stay on line during their broadcast (if possible) and answer questions through a chat feature. Stephen Wynkoop who runs the conference has a very professional setup, so you should definitely check it out. Here's what he sent me yesterday:
