&lt;p&gt;Really, we have too many great speakers to list. The spectrum ranges from &lt;a href="http://www.hanselman.com/blog/"&gt;Scott Hanselman&lt;/a&gt; to &lt;a href="http://www.devthought.com/"&gt;Guillermo Rauch&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Check out the &lt;a href="http://lanyrd.com/2013/pnp-symposium/speakers/"&gt;full list of speakers&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The event is in &lt;strong&gt;Redmond, WA&lt;/strong&gt; on Microsoft&amp;#8217;s campus. The dates are &lt;strong&gt;Janauary 15 - 17&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Regsistration is &lt;strong&gt;$498&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can &lt;a href="http://aka.ms/symposium"&gt;read all the details&lt;/a&gt; or you can jump straight to &lt;a href="http://www.regonline.com/Register/Checkin.aspx?EventID=1150970"&gt;the registration&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

We’ll be discussing how we built &lt;a title="Silver Arcade, a free online gaming community" href="http://www.silverarcade.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Silver Arcade&lt;/a&gt; using ASP.NET MVC, Azure, NHibernate, jQuery, and more. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;August 29th&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Source Control with Subversion &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jaxcodecamp.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Jacksonville Code Camp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;This is a Getting Started session for those who don’t know much about source control. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h3&gt;September 5th &lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tallycodecamp.org/2009" target="_blank"&gt;Tallahassee Code Camp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I’m not 100% certain what I’ll be doing here. However, we have an awesome lineup. If you are within driving distance, come spend your Labor Day weekend with us. It’s going to be a great event. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;September 17th&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Getting Started with NHibernate &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://tampadev.org/" target="_blank"&gt;Tampa Bay ASP.NET MVC SIG&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I’m really excited about this one. We’ll be discussing how to get started with NHibernate specifically within the context of ASP.NET MVC applications.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;If you attend any of these events, please stop and and introduce yourself. I really enjoy connecting with other developers. It’s half the fun of these events.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://devlicio.us/aggbug.aspx?PostID=50123" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://devlicio.us/blogs/christopher_bennage/archive/tags/Events/default.aspx">Events</category></item><item><title>TDD Firestarter in Tampa</title><link>http://devlicio.us/blogs/christopher_bennage/archive/2009/01/07/tdd-firestarter-in-tampa.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 07 Jan 2009 22:12:10 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">40756a8b-6212-4073-9d98-6c26781577de:43668</guid><dc:creator>Christopher Bennage</dc:creator><slash:comments>2</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;The new year has already gotten away from me and it&amp;#39;s only 7 days old.
