DotNETRocks Coming to Michigan Oct 9!

David Giard — Wed, 12 Sep 2012 14:24:10 GMT

I have been listening to DotNETRocks almost since the show's inception and I am an unapologetic fan. I'm not the only one: The show is the oldest and most popular podcast target at .NET developers.

So I was thrilled to learn that hosts Richard Campbell and Carl Franklin planned a cross-country Road Trip and that this trip would include a stop in the Detroit area. Upon hearing about the Road Trip, I immediately reached out to Carl and Richard to ask how I could help. It has been a few weeks since the initial announcement and plans are now taking shape.

Richard and Carl will be in Michigan on Tuesday October 9. The Great Lakes Area .NET User Group (GANG) will hold a special meeting to host the event. Jeff Wilcox, creator of the Fourth and Mayor Windows Phone 7 app will be their guest.

This event will include the following:

A presentation by Jeff Wilcox
A barbeque dinner from Lockhart's barbeque in Royal Oak, MI (courtesy of a generous donation from New World Systems)
A live recording of Carl and Richard interviewing Jeff for an upcoming episode of DotNetRocks. The audience will have an opportunity to ask questions of Jeff
A technical presentation by Carl Franklin
A technical presentation by Richard Campbell

This is a lot to pack into one night, but if you are a regular GANG attendee, you know that we regularly pack a great deal into each meeting.

Richard Campbell traveled to GANG in 2011 and that meeting was one of our most successful ever!

This evening is made possible by the vision of Carl Franklin and Richard Campbell and by the hard work of the Great Lakes Area .NET User Group volunteers.

Because of the limited seating, the popularity of the event, and the need to buy the right amount of food, you will need to register in advance for this free event. Do so at http://dotnetrocks.eventbrite.com/.
