A few months ago, Josh Hilliker blogged about a must attend event in Portland, OR. He was referring to our Intel Premier IT Professional event. They are free and we host them in a variety of cities throughout the year. Join the program to get invites to the our 2009 events. https://ipip.intel.com/kmembership_info/join/

Today, I'm in San Diego and I must say if you're not here you are missing out. There are so many great topics - client and data center virtualization, social computing, and wargaming to name a few. Another hot topic centered on solid state drives. IT managers love it because its so easy to delpoy and it offers immediate savings on energy efficiency and extended battery life.

But the great news is if you're not here, you can still access all of the content by going to our Event Center http://ipip.intel.com/go/event-center/?event_short_name=IPIP-SanDiego-08 on our web site. So, check it out and let us know what you think. We're always looking for new hot topics.
