By Roy Osherove March 24, 2007 In [Community News](https://osherove.com/blog/category/community-news) **Historical article** · Originally published March 24, 2007; technical details may be outdated. In less than 12 hours I'll be sitting on a plane heading for Belgium. I'll be speaking at the upcoming [Developer & IT Pro Days 2007](http://www.microsoft.com/belux/devitprodays/)7 conference in Ghent, starting on the 28-29. The subjects I'll be covering: - [Regular Expressions, The hidden power language](http://www.microsoft.com/belux/devitprodays/agenda/sessions1.aspx) - [FIT Acceptance testing- beyond Unit testing and TDD](http://www.microsoft.com/belux/devitprodays/agenda/sessions2.aspx) - [Continuous Integration with & without Team System](http://www.microsoft.com/belux/devitprodays/agenda/sessions2.aspx) - [DataDude - Team System for DB Pros - stuff you wish you had yesterday](http://www.microsoft.com/belux/devitprodays/agenda/sessions1.aspx) I'm leaving so early because it was nearly impossible to get a flight out of Israel - the combination of the upcoming holidays and pending strikes in the airports made ticket prices soar and seats nearly impossible to find. I had to leave 2 days earlier and one day later than expected - 4 days more away from my new kid - Itamar. **Thanks to** [**David Boschmans**](http://blogs.msdn.com/davbosch) for helping to make this trip possible still - it almost got canceled, but he made it possible for me to come to Belgium. Anyways, I'm landing at the morning of Sunday the 25th in Brussels, and from there directly to Ghent. I'd be happy to join in on any geek dinner on the 25th if there is one, or we could arrange for one if you're interested and are located in Ghent.
