Here's one path I was just led down:
1. In my "IN" box, received a weekly newsletter e-mail
XMLReport@101communications-news.com
2. It contains a sponsors link (which I usually ignore) to:
Technical Briefings from IBM and Microsoft in Boston
http://info.101com.com/default.asp?id=2377
3. This is a re-direct to a conference I was unaware of, right in my own Boston backyard, and going on Right Now (!) (Aug. 12-15)
http://www.xmlconference.com/boston/
4. One session I found of interest is
XSLT Gets a Facelift: A Look at XSLT 2.0 in the Enterprise
http://www.xmlconference.com/boston/sessions2.asp?section_id=879
5. Which is taught by Jeff Kenton, who works for DataPower
http://www.datapower.com/newsroom/press_kit/faq.html
6. Which I learn is also in my backyard (Alewife, Cambridge)
http://www.datapower.com/about/contact_us.html
==================
Special note: I needed to telephone in (no further online registration) to see if I could attend this single XSLT 2.0 session. Didn't know if there was a price for it; didn't look like it from the brochure/PDF etc. Nice person on the telephone helped me out a bit, and it sounds like I can attend this session just on my free "Pavilion Pass." That's a nice break! (if it really works out that way! it doesn't appear to be among the freebies:

http://www.xmlconference.com/boston/special.asp
but, we'll see)
Here's also the I.B.M. day-long session (free):
IBM Web Services Technical Briefing Day Agenda

I hope to get to both; we'll see!
