A couple of quick save the dates:

January 14th: Ted Neward and Amada Laucher on F#

"If you're like most C# developers, you've probably heard (or maybe not)
about this new language Microsoft is shipping in VS 2010, called Visual F#.
And if you're like most C# developers, you probably thought, 'What the F# is
that?' and thought you were funny. (It's OK; everybody does it.) But now
your boss is asking the question, and he finds your geek humor somehow not
quite satisfactory as an answer.

"In this presentation, Amanda Laucher and Ted Neward, authors of the
forthcoming 'F# in a Nutshell', take an all-code, no-slides look at the
language, its concepts and ideas, and a little bit of its libraries and
syntax, and show you how to start answering that crucial question, this time
for real. By the end of the talk, you will have a grasp of some of F#'s core
syntax, some good background on how it works and what it's good for, and a
little bit of how it interoperates with C#, Visual Basic and other .NET
languages, in either web and desktop applications."

March 4th: Shawn Wildermuth on Silverlight

More specifics to come. Shawn is one of the premiere speakers and experts on
Silverlight. This is an INETA talk. Please note that this talk is one week
earlier than normal.
