Canadians: Register Now for the VS 2008 Launch Events!

Sheesh! I had a nasty shock yesterday when I went to register for the Vancouver Launch & Technical Readiness event on March 4th - it said the event was full! What?!?! Already?!?!

It turns out it was a glitch at the Web site and the "full" message was bogus.  I was able to register this morning without difficulty so you should be okay too.

However, that serves as a warning that these free events fill up quickly. For the Canadian events, register at http://www.microsoft.com/canada/heroeshappenhere/register/default.mspx.

BTW, I'll be in Vancouver with a number of other MVPs to answer questions in the Ask the Experts booth in the Community area of the event. I'll also be at the Community Connection event in Victoria on March 5th.

I would love to register, but Microsoft thinks Canada end at Nova Scotia, not Newfoundland...

Hi Jason,

I hear you.

Here's an idea: If you've got a .NET user group (or can organize one in NL), maybe you can join at www.heroescommunitylaunch.com and make your own local event?

Microsoft pays more attention to cities with active .NET user communities. Generating some local activity might be a way of getting on their "tier two" list for future tours.

I wish I could attend the launch event in Vancouver...I attended the event in Victoria back in 2005, and that was a great time.  Unfortunately, this year's launch happens to be on the same day I am going on a short trip.  Ooh the timing!
