Heh I love the Jedi quote 
http://www.nvidia.co.uk/view.asp?page=gathering2
NVIDIA, Microsoft & AMD:
The Gathering 2
"Fear is the path to the dark side... fear leads to anger... anger leads to hate... hate leads to suffering."
Direct3D is the path of the Jedi… Direct3D leads to satisfaction… satisfaction leads to joy… joy leads to fully-featured, highly-optimised and successful games.
For years now the Jedi Knights of NVIDIA's Developer Relations Group and Microsoft’s DirectX team have been working to reveal the innate beauty of Direct3D to all 3D games programmers. It’s time to step aside from fear, to rid yourselves of anger and to turn away from hate and suffering.
Come to ‘The Gathering 2’, at the Hilton Metropole hotel in Paddington, London on June 13th and 14th and we’ll train you in the secrets of effective DirectX 9 programming. From basic light-sabre fighting techniques to advanced Jedi mind-control, from the best tools in the business to the purest HAL in the world, the Gathering 2 is the place to be. We’ll have staff from Microsoft on hand to deal with all the intricacies of DirectX 9 and Jedi Master David Kirk (NVIDIA's chief architect) will also be there for the whole event. There’s no other event in history so packed with technical talent - so book your places now.
Two days of focused technical tutorial sessions, the opportunity to test your software reflexes on NVIDIA's latest and greatest hardware - and a chance to spend time with us, the Jedi Council - and all for the paltry sum of three hundred and thirty seven earth pounds (plus VAT).
And just one more thing… If you were worried that three hundred and thirty seven earth pounds (plus VAT) seemed like a lot, then keep in mind that the conference cost also includes a free GeForce4 Ti graphics card. There's no limit to the number of people from each company who can attend - but there's just one card per attendee.
