This week Sunday through Tuesday evening I'll be in Virginia Beach, hanging out with the small group of admins joining us for the third annual Mark Minasi Forum at the Virginia Beach Resort Hotel. Last I heard, attendance has shot through the roof this year, breaking all expectations.

This is news I'm glad to hear, because I know how much this means for Mark, Eric, and everyone on the forum who make this possible.

This will be my first time attending the forum, and I'll be giving two presentations. On Monday morning I'll be giving my talk on Documentation and Change Control: Hating it to Loving it in 75 Minutes. The next morning at 9:00a sharp I start off the day with my ever-popular talk Tips and Tricks for Preventing an AD Failure.

If you haven't heard of the forum yet, you can check out this year's page on it at this address: http://www.minasi.com/forummeet2008/ The show is unique in that its a small group of highly-dedicated people getting together in an intimate format. I'm looking forward to getting out there (even if I route through O'Hare to get there! Y'ick!)
