I will be giving a talk at the .NET Developer's Association on February 14, 2004 in Redmond, WA, USA. I'll be talking about a lot of the exciting globalization features that are new in Whidbey. If you are local (or traveling to Seattle) and interested, you can get more info about the meeting at:

You do have to be a member for the raffle, but anyone can show up for the presentation. And in case I owe you a book from the raffle that was done the last time I spoke, I will bring them with me!

Now it is Valentine's Day, so if you need me to write a note so your S.O. will understand why you have to be home a little late that night then let me know and I'll see what I can do. (Or you can bring him/her along, though a technical presentation may not be the best Valentine's Day "date" environment.)

Achim Ruopp's session at the 27th Internationalization and Unicode Conference (http://www.global-conference.com/iuc27/program.html for more information) will cover lots of the same stuff (though of course he will be given less time to talk about it!).

Well, I will be speaking in D.C. on March 31, 2004 (oops, make that I *did* speak there on that date.... heh!)

D.C. is the only place I know of where somebody flew across the country to hear me speak at a user group meeting. Though that was a special circumstance. Maybe a fun story for another day....

I don't make it to that side of the country as often as I used to. But I used to have a rule that any time I travelled I would offer to speak at the local user's group. I think it started to assuage guilt over my fees but later became a fun thing to do because I like speaking.

So if I make it there I'll try to scare up a speaking gig. You know what are the good local user groups for .NET around the DC area?
