I'll be presenting a session on design and branding in SharePoint 2010 at tomorrow night's Sydney SharePoint user group (17th November, 2009, 6pm-8pm). It will be a similar presentation to the one I delivered at this year's Office DevCon and approximately 1.5-2hrs duration.
 
The presentation will cover new design approaches in SharePoint 2010, including theming, master pages and other rich client-side offerings.
 
See http://www.sharepointusers.org.au/Sydney/default.aspx for location and registration.
