PDC 2007 is a No Go?

PDC Blog - PDC Update

"We are currently in the process of rescheduling this fall’s Professional Developer Conference. As the PDC is the definitive developer event focused on the future of the Microsoft platform, we try to align it to be in front of major platform milestones. By this fall, however, upcoming platform technologies including Windows Server 2008, SQL Server code name “Katmai,” Visual Studio code name “Orcas” and Silverlight will already be in developers’ hands and approaching launch, which is where we’ll focus our developer engagement in the near term. We will update this site when we have a new date for the PDC that is better timed with the next wave of platform technologies.

I was planning on PDC 2007 being my yearly required CPE related training, but now it looks like I need a backup plan...
(Working at one of the Final Four US Accounting Firms, I have to go to XX hours of training each year. While sometimes it can be a pain, all in all it actually rocks because that means they have to give me money to go to training each year...  ;)

Time to look at some local training options.

Developmentor has been a fav in the past, but I really hate my drive to it. I think there are some in-person/classroom/instructor lead (i.e. much easier to get CPE credit) training options closer to home (or in Downtown LA, where I could take the train...).

Now where did I put that mailer...
