&lt;P&gt;The Professional Developer Conference (PDC) , taking place in Los Angeles Oct. 27th - 30th, is an event designed for leading-edge developers and software architects that are interested in the future of the Microsoft platform. If you're responsible for the technical strategy in your organization, or you're a highly skilled developer who likes to delve deep into the heart of the platform, then PDC is for you! You can register today for PDC by heading over to &lt;A href="http://www.microsoftpdc.com/" mce_href="http://www.microsoftpdc.com/"&gt;http://www.microsoftpdc.com/&lt;/A&gt;. Hurry, spots are filling fast!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC), taking place in Los Angeles Nov.&amp;nbsp;5th - 7th, focuses on designing PCs, servers, and devices that run and interface with Microsoft Windows with a focus on Windows 7. WinHEC brings together engineers, developers and testers, and product planners giving them a opportunity to stay aligned with Microsoft technology roadmaps and new product opportunities. To register for WinHEC - &lt;A href="http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/winhec/default.mspx" mce_href="http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/winhec/default.mspx"&gt;click here&lt;/A&gt; (register before Oct.&amp;nbsp;3rd and save $400!). &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;At each event you will hear from lead Windows Engineers including Steven Sinofsky, as well as see firsthand the next Windows OS. Just announced today - at both shows we will handing out a pre-beta build of Windows 7. By attending these events, you will be one of a select few to receive a pre-beta build of Windows 7 to take with you. If that's not incentive to head to these events, I don't know what is ;-)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://windowsteamblog.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=501770" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windowsvista/archive/tags/Windows/default.aspx">Windows</category><category domain="http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windowsvista/archive/tags/Featured+News/default.aspx">Featured News</category><category domain="http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windowsvista/archive/tags/Windows+7/default.aspx">Windows 7</category><category domain="http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windowsvista/archive/tags/Engineering/default.aspx">Engineering</category><category domain="http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windowsvista/archive/tags/WinHEC+2008/default.aspx">WinHEC 2008</category><category domain="http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windowsvista/archive/tags/PDC+2008/default.aspx">PDC 2008</category></item></channel></rss>
