The UK Microsoft User Groups have organised another huge gathering at Microsoft Reading next week.

This time it's split over 2 days April 8th and 9th and features a lot of great sessions. User groups that I'm active in such as the UK SharePoint user group, PowerShell user group and the Vista squad will be there along with the user groups for Exchange, SQL Server and others.

It's not often you get a host of experts on these subjects in one location so check out the agenda and see if any sessions take your fancy.

I'm doing a session on day 2 crossing over two groups SharePoint and PowerShell on moving data in SharePoint using the Content Deployment API (aka Prime API) and PowerShell. I'll go through some of the functions and cmdlets I've written to make moving data easier, samples include moving list items, lists, webs and site collections within and between farms.
