I am working with the Intel Developer Forum team, and I thought you might be interested in the information on the spring IDF happening in San Francisco. They will be holding sessions and presentations on a wide range of topics such as current trends, hardware, switching architecture, network security, PCI, WIMAX, firmware and much more. And the best part, in my opinion, is the "Ultimate Server Geek" contest where they will be giving away some Segways and a Canon EOS-IDS Mark II.
