As we've mentioned, we're hosting two event today to help the Movable Type community get ready for the release of MT4. Both events are free and open to anyone who wants to participate online -- here's the information you'll need to know to get connected.

• Upgrade-A-Thon: 10am Pacific Time (1pm Eastern/5pm GMT) If you're thinking of making the jump to MT4, we'll have the most experienced experts in the world by your side when you do it. You can join via screencast (view the live video in your browser) or IRC (a free text chat system) and we'll have a call-in phone conference and AIM chat room as well.

• MT4 Training on Consulting and Strategy: 12pm Pacific Time (3pm Eastern/7pm GMT) Our sales and product teams will teach you about what MT4 can do, and how you can benefit from it as a web developer, designer, consultant, or administrator. You can join via screencast (view the live video in your browser) or IRC (a free text chat system) and we'll have a call-in phone conference and AIM chat room as well.

To get ready, you might wish to visit the Adobe Connect screencast conference sites (linked above) as it can take a few minutes for the application to load in your web browser. If you prefer to participate in the IRC chat room instead of via phone or AIM chat, you'll need an IRC client -- there are many free options to choose from.

The call-in number for both events is +1 712-432-3000. The bridge number is 353177.

We'll be sharing the resources and lessons learned from these events with the community once we're done, as well, and making updates to documentation as needed.
