Virtually every IT administrator gets to attend an IT conference once in a while. Why not make that "once in a while" this March in San Francisco? I'll be there, leading the Tips, Tricks, and Troubleshooting Track! And, if you use the code TPSHI when you register, you'll get a $695 discount -- just for watching this blog!

That being said, here're my top 8 reasons why you might want to come...

1. By attending Bruce Mackenzie-Low's Troubleshooting Windows Crashes & Hangs session you'll be able to fix a blue-screened server rather than have to rebuild it from scratch.
2. Learning what you need to know from my Tips You Should Know for Preventing an Active Directory Failure session could save your entire company!
3. For a ridiculously low price, you'll get eight hours of hi-energy instruction on Windows Server 2008 from yours truly! Nowhere else can you get a deal like this, and you need to know Microsoft's newest operating system.
4. TechMentor's Expo is one of the rare places where you can get one-on-one with vendors for the technologies you need. (Don't mention the free beer)
5. If you've been afraid of migrating to Windows Vista, world renowned instructor James Conrad has got the session for you: Migrating from XP to Vista: Don't Fear, Stop Waiting, Here's Why!
6. E-mail is a mission-critical part of virtually every business, and it's your job to keep it running. But you can't do that without the best tips, like you'll get in Peter Bruzzese's Top Tips for Exchange 2007 session.
7. Unlike a lot of other conferences out there, TechMentor is completely independent. That means you'll get the straight scoop on today's tech, without the party line.
8. Lastly, tell your boss that this TechMentor is co-located with VSLive. That means you're actually getting two conferences in one. Now, isn't that some pretty good cost savings?
