A couple of announcements:

Notice the pushpin (number 1) on this map: it has been placed on the Liberal Arts building where the event will now be taking place. Right click on the pushpin, and then you can select "Drive To..." (in order to create custom driving directions).


Good News: So many people have registered for this conference that we had to change buildings! The new building (Liberal Arts) has much larger rooms. The event will take place on the second floor.

SESSION CHANGES
----------------------------------------------------

The session schedule that has been posted on the Day of .NET homepage (http://dayofdotnet.org) will change. You will receive an updated schedule when you check-in on Saturday. We will also update the Day of .NET homepage periodically before Saturday, so please check there for for up-to-date information and announcements.

One definite session change that we can relay: Due to a family emergency, Alex Lowe's session "Lessons Learned From Community Server" had to be cancelled. In its place, Dustin Campbell from Developer Express will present on using Generics in the 2.0 Framework. This session will go beyond the usual Generic Collections that we're all familiar with by now, and will demonstrate other ways that Generics can be used.
