Once again, I'm packing my bags for the flight to the US. This time it's the SharePoint Best Practices Conference, 24^th – 27^th August, at the Hyatt Regency Reston Hotel in Washington, DC - over 120 sessions, 4 tracks, 4 post-conference workshops and 60+ speakers. It's definitely one to attend.

It's the first time I've been to a US Best Practices Conference and the first time in Washington, DC, so I'm really looking forward to it. I can't wait to meet up with so many friends and colleagues. I'll be presenting two sessions:

• What does it takes to become certified on SharePoint Server 2010? – Tuesday 16:30 – 17:15 – Room: Lake Ann A.
• SharePoint 2010 goes native with PowerShell – Thursday 11:00 – 12:15 – Room: Lake Fairfax A
• ATE Administration Panel

If you can't make, follow: Twitter hash is #BPC2010 or I've also seen #BPC10 used too. There is also going to be live blogging.
