DoEvents - June 2007
So just over 4 months to go until VBUG’s 2007 Developer Conference. Unfortunately I can’t release any details at the moment, apart from saying that we are looking at a mind blowing array of leading speakers!! We have been running Conferences since 1999, so you can rest assured we know the high standard you demand from an event like this. Talking of Conferences, I just wanted to mention the IT Pro Connections Conference (and pre conference workshops) taking place later this month over in Amsterdam. A bit of a journey but well worth the effort! Check out the details at www.devconnectionseurope.com. Finally, don’t forget to check out the Telerik Reporting contest (details below), enter for the chance of winning a 19" NEC monitor. You have to be in it to win it!! Anyway, that’s all for this month – as ever something for everyone listed below! Keep your comments coming in to me at emma@vbug.com!
