According to Microsoft, its Windows Embedded Healthcare Solutions Seminars will last four hours apiece, and are designed to show "how device manufacturers can put Windows to work in specialized medical devices, delivering a connected experience for healthcare providers."

The sessions will feature Rod Scruggs (right), described as having more than twelve years of experience in medical device product development and marketing. According to Microsoft, he'll be joined by Windows Embedded team members Toby McAuliffe and Dion Hutchings, as well as Nick Lukianov, a technical director for business development at Avnet.

Microsoft says a continental breakfast and lunch will be provided, and each attendee will receive a Windows Embedded evaluation kit. Additionally, they'll be entered in a drawing for a developer tool kit with a retail value of $995, the company adds.

All the events will be held at Microsoft offices, with registration and breakfast at 8:30 a.m. local time. Cited dates and places for the six Embedded Health Care Solutions Seminars are as follows:

• Oct. 19 -- San Diego, CA
• Oct. 22 -- Mountain View, CA
• Oct. 26 -- Bloomington, MN
• Oct. 28 -- Iselin, NJ
• Nov. 2 -- Waltham, MA
• Nov. 4 -- Durham, NC

Would-be attendees can register by following links on Microsoft's Embedded Events and Seminars website and then filling out a brief questionnaire.

As we discovered, the Embedded Events and Seminars site also offers links via which one can play video from, or download presentations related to, previous events. The 30 events listed predominantly involve Windows Embedded Standard 7, but also include content related to Windows CE 6.0 R3 and Windows Server 2008 R2 for Embedded Systems.
