Silverlight Connections – November 1-4, 2010

I am very excited to announce that this year I will be presenting three unique sessions at Silverlight Connections in Las Vegas, Nevada  Nov 1-4, 2010.  I have never got the pleasure of attending this conference and look forward to being a part of three days of in-depth sessions on Silverlight and WP7.
