I got this notice after a Digikey order, and saw a number of topics that would interest the folks here:

--------------------------
Join National Semiconductor and Digi-Key for a FREE full-day seminar on power management design. The seminar will cover topics ranging from a review of basic principles and tradeoffs of different architectures to practical application examples, including:


• Fundamentals and tradeoffs of different switching power supply architectures
• Designing with linear regulators for high performance and low noise
• How to select external components including diodes, capacitors, FETs, and inductors
• Highly efficient Power-over Ethernet (PoE) PD solutions
• Optimal architectures for portable applications including LED lighting and battery charging solutions
• Practical examples in using National's award-winning WEBENCH® online design tool for faster time-to-market

Pre-registration is required to guarantee that there are sufficient seats, lunches and handbooks. Be sure to reserve a seat at the seminar nearest you.

Damn, would really like to go to this seminar, just to see what it's like - even if i needed to pay a slight amount of cash. Closest seminar is in Stockholm though.
