Watch the PDC2010 opening Keynote LIVE

PDC10_300x250_pre_and_during_eventThe PDC is our key developer conference and it’s all about Developers, Developers, Developers! You’ll see the latest and greatest of Microsoft tools and technologies being showcased and it gives great insight into what’s now and what’s coming in the pipeline.

This year it’s being held at our Microsoft Campus in Redmond, but because we get that it’s a loooong way to Redmond (~28hrs in flight; bring on deep vein thrombosis) and that budgets may be limited, we’re streaming the Day 1 Opening Keynote live in South Africa at various venues. If you can’t make it, you will also be able to watch live from the comfort of your best internet connection or download it and any of the sessions, about 48hrs after they’ve finished (visit the PDC site for more information).

The event is free, but seating is limited, so please register at the links provided. Please note that the event starts 5:45pm SHARP! So arrive early to park, sign-in and not miss any of the action.
