Is coming up yet again, but this time its bigger than ever before. TechMentor has upgraded from twice a year to now four times a year, and our first show of 2008 is coming to San Francisco at the end of March. I've been teaching at TechMentor for years now, and have always loved its vibe, its size, and its perfect level of independent content.

2008 marks the 10th Anniversary of TechMentor, and to celebrate we are kicking the year off with a return to San Francisco, California. Meet industry gurus; network with other IT professionals, Microsoft product teams and executives at San Francisco's Moscone Convention Center West on March 30 - April 3, 2008.

TechMentor San Francisco will bring you more great technical content, more knowledgeable and accessible instructors, more pre- and post-conference workshops, more pricing packages to choose from, a new feature called "Virtual Conference," allowing you to view sessions after the conference - in short, more of what you're looking for in an independent network training conference.

Expect over 140 hours of hard-hitting technical and strategic content over five days with five tactical and strategic tracks to choose from, including: Windows PowerShell & Administrative Automation, Windows Server Technologies, Fundamentals for Windows Administration, Practical Security, and Tips, Tricks, and Troubleshooting. Plus, TechMentor San Francisco is now co-located with VSLive! Choose the all-access Gold Passport and get unlimited access to both TechMentor and VSLive sessions in San Francisco.

So, all the marketing aside, here's the best part of being a part of our community. If you haven't already registered for TechMentor San Francisco, you can receive a $695 discount on the Gold Passport if you register using priority code TPSHI. More at www.techmentorevents.com/sf.
