Admission is free for IMUG members and host staff, and $5 for non-members. IMUG membership is only $20 for the first year, $15 for annual renewal, or $100 for lifetime membership.

Please RSVP via Meetup by 4 PM the day before the event to help IMUG and our hosts prepare badges for you in advance. After that time it's still OK to RSVP right up to the last minute, as that will help us ensure enough seats for everyone! http://events.imug.org/

Hi Kimo, Ken does plan to record this, but the result must be reviewed and approved by the speaker and possibly others at Microsoft before it can be released. If all goes well, I'll be notifying everyone when the recording is available, via Meetup, Twitter, etc. ---Joe
