Call for PDC Meetup/Networking Events

As I will be attending my first PDC in a few weeks, I'd like to get a feel for when and where the good events are to meet up with people who are on the bleeding edge of all things at this events. Answers please to my email at jonathan.bruceATdatadirect.com (remove the AT).

I'll post all responses and suggestions I see on this and my sister blog dot-Net Connections.
