&lt;P class=EC_MsoNormal&gt;I’d like to tell you more about this great event. &amp;nbsp;One of the event’s owners (Jean-René Roy) is also a MVP and has been for the past 14 years a user group leader in Montreal. His conference has all the standards of an international event but it’s done by developers for Developers. &amp;nbsp;Don’t be surprised if you have lunch with Markus Egger or Carl Franklin or any other speakers on site. That’s all part of the concept. The gold of this event is not only to provide training that you cannot get any other way but also to put you in a environment that favors the networking with renowned speakers. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=EC_MsoNormal&gt;&amp;nbsp;I strongly recommend that you checkout what this event has to offer with this link:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=EC_MsoNormal&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.devteach.com/Index.aspx" target=_blank&gt;http://www.devteach.com/Index.aspx&lt;/A&gt; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=EC_MsoNormal&gt;&amp;nbsp;Our group has obtained a rebate code good for 50$ off the registration price. Using this code right now on the early bird will give you 250$ off the main event. DevTeach is an event you can’t afford to miss. &lt;/P&gt;
