Here's a letter for your Boss to encourage them to sign-off your trip to PDC

I was amused to see the Letter to your Boss on the MicrosoftPDC website as referenced by the PDC Twitter feed.

I'm sure budgets are tight for most organisations given the current financial melt down hence following as much of the proceedings as possible online via blogs and twitter may be the only option for you. If you do make it to PDC then please feel free to email me with a subject line of "Let's meet up at PDC" if you'd like to do so.
