A lot of people have been asking me what the best way is to recieve invitations to our Microsoft Gulf events for developers and to recieve news from us on new technology.  We have lots of sources for this, but the best way is to profile yourself and let us know what you're interested in. 

1. Go to the Microsoft Profile Center
2. Sign in with your LiveID
3. Update "My Personal Information" to make sure that your country is one of the Gulf countries: UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Yemen
4. Update "My Business Information" to make sure that the "primary role" is correct, select "Developer, Solutions Architect, ..." whatever matches

That's it.  You can also manage all of your subscriptions to the TechNet Flash and local Gulf DPE Newsletter from the Subscritption center as well.

 I've posted a quick video that walks you through this.  Sorry about the audio, I'll try to update it with better sound if I have a chance.
