I'm organizing a session at NW-MTUG that will be made up entirely of local speakers. Here's the format.

6 speakers

5 mins each speaker

No questions

Topic of your choice

 

For now if you could let me know of sessions you would like to present just give me a  title and a short description feel free to send more than one, send these to me before July 31^st after that I'll create a poll on the groups Facebook fan page and let the group vote on the sessions they'd like to see. This will be based on session title and description so no one company should dominate the evening. Ideally I'd like to see this happen in October or November as this will give me time to sort sponsorship, the voting and will give those people selected to deliver a session time to prepare. Please feel free to forward this invite to anyone you think would be interested in delivering a session.

Just a shout to let you all know of NW-MTUG's next session on 10th March, it's on Using ASP.NET MVC 2 - Introduction to MVC & What's New and will be presented by Martha Rotter. Check out NW-MTUG's site for all the details.
