For the first time ever VSLive is coming to Las Vegas!  The show will be May 8-11 at the Rio.

I have been asked to head up the content selection for this show.  The current plan is to split into two tracks: a Smart Client track and an ASP.NET track.  To tell you the truth I think this makes a ton of sense compared to the old partitioning and this will be the second show to use this scheme.

Please send all proposals to me and include VSLive Vegas in the title so that i spot them.  This show will not be us just picking up all the content from the previous San Francisco and Toronto shows.  My plan is to look at the scores for those shows and pull forward only the top scorers.  Surprised that we actually look at the ratings?  Good reason to actually fill them out.  They do affect the future directions of the shows.  To those "legacy" sessions I will be looking to add new sessions.  If all goes well the plan is to have 50% of the show comprised of the best content from previous shows and 50% of the content all new content.  Hopefully this strategy will help make an already great show even better.

So treat this as the first call for proposals.  I need all proposals sent to me by February 4th so I can get a preliminary matrix setup. I need proposals for both 60 minutes sessions and all day workshops. 

Let's see what you have and hopefully I will see you in Vegas Baby...
