Headlining the 1-day ASP.NET event is Dino Esposito, trainer and consultant for Wintellect (www.wintellect.com) and author of Programming ASP.NET and Applied XML Programming for Microsoft .NET. Dino also runs the Cutting Edge column for MSDN Magazine and is a regular contributor to MSDN News, Visual C++ Developers Journal and SQL Server Magazine.

Joining Dino we also have Steve Harris who is recognised as one of the UK's premier authorities on ASP.NET application development and in 2002 Steve co-authored "Moving to ASP.NET" with Rob Macdonald; Dave Sussman was the first person to write books for both versions 1.0 and 2.0 and speaks regularly on ASP.NET at conferences, including Microsoft TechEd and PDC. Microsoft also named Dave a Software Legend in March 2003 and an ASP.NET MVP in October 2003; Finally we have top QA trainer Darren Burford who wrote his first web page in 1992 and soon after wrote his first Web application written with CGI and Fortran of all things and now trains professionals on the subject of ASP.NET every day! PLUS VBUG coordinators Phil Winstanly (MVP) and Richard Costall will be there to answer any technical questions you have on ASP.NET throughout the day. Check out the website for more details. All this packed into just one day with prices starting from just £50!!! Why the lower price – we want to make this event as accessible and good value as possible for our members. We also want to kick start the conferences in the north with a bang which is only possible if you all come along and show your support.
