There is another Get Ready for SQL Server 2005 Roadshow going on:

The Get Ready for SQL Server 2005 Roadshow was a huge success last
spring, so we're extending the tour to 15 more cities this summer and
fall, starting in Portland on July 26. Once again, we invite you as our
guest to attend any venue of the roadshow tour, which kicks off in
Portland on July 26.

This event will follow a similar format as the first show: technical
content in three tracks -- administration, development, and business
intelligence -- presented in this round by our roadshow training
partners Hitachi Consulting, Scalability Experts, and Solid Quality
Learning. Keynoters for selected cities will include Bill Baker. As our
guest at the roadshow, you'll receive a special attendee bag, a "Get
Ready" logo shirt, and the SQL Server 2005 Upgrade Handbook.

Also, if you have a blog or an email communication that you send out,
we'd appreciate a mention of this terrific opportunity for SQL Server
professionals!
