Microsoft is holding a full day seminar called Multicore Programming on the .NET Platform. This event is unaffiliated with SF#, but since many people are drawn to F# because of parallel programming, I thought it would be of interest. What you'll learn can be applied to any .NET language.

Feel free to also RSVP here on SFsharp.org to let us know you'll be there, but you definitely need to officially register using the above link.
An excerpt from the event's description:
"This 1-day workshop will introduce parallel programming support in .NET 4, and move rapidly from concepts to concrete examples. Topics include the new task-oriented programming model, exploiting data & task parallelism in your applications, design patterns for exposing parallelism, Task Parallel Library (TPL), Parallel LINQ, new concurrent data structures for more efficient parallel access, and proper exception handling in the presence of parallelism. We’ll also discuss cutting-edge Visual Studio 2010 tools for debugging and profiling of parallel apps, as well as tool support from Microsoft Research. The workshop will be demo-rich, with complete source code provided."
