The Best Practices SharePoint Conference will be held at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines. Be inspired by one of the most exceptional settings in Southern California. Atop the bluffs of La Jolla, California, overlooking the legendary Torrey Pines Golf Course and the majestic Pacific Ocean sits the newly renovated, Four Diamond Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines hotel. You will experience a feeling of seclusion yet remain close to everything that San Diego, California has to offer.

Sounds Interesting so far some of the tracks include especially with the group of folks presenting:
DEV301, Best Practices for Developing Web Parts - Todd Bleeker
ITP312, What the SharePoint Owners Manual Won’t Tell You… Avoiding Failed Deployments and Chaos - Joel Oleson
