You can also take advantage of this on Tuesday night:

Plan to join the Devscovery presenters for an action-packed, one-hour Panel discussion on Tuesday evening where you, the attendee, get your pressing, mission-critical questions answered by the experts. We plan on you driving the content – each attendee can submit their questions prior to the event. Extra bonus points for the attendees who wheel in their servers with the bugs they are struggling with to the Panel discussion. We truly want to hear about the issues and problems you’re facing. This is your chance to have a room full of developers help you over the hurdles you and your team are struggling with in your .NET development. This is an event for you by you! After the discussions (and hopefully bug fixing) you can stick around for hor d’oeurvres, refreshments and deep technical discussions.

And here’s some more descriptive text from the Devscovery site:
