This article by Andy warren shows you how to get started with DMO using either VB or VBScript. The article includes sample code that will backup all databases on a server and will update the statistics on all databases as well.
This is the first article in a series on writing stored procedures using the Common Language Runtime (CLR). This article focuses on basic C# syntax and using Visual Studio to build a stored procedure. It's targeted at DBA's and anyone else who primarily writes in Transact-SQL and hasn't had much exposure to .NET yet.
TechEd is a great show and while the PASS summit is the best one for DBAs, this one is great for most of the other Microsoft technologies. Read about Day 3 from Steve Jones.

Many articles, such as "Monitor Disk Space on Multiple SQL Servers" and "Inventorying hardware and OS information on all SQL Servers" require a list of servers in a text file.
It's not a SQL Server event, but SQL Server is a large part of it. TechEd is a huge conference and one of the premier events put on by Microsoft each year. Read about the first day with Andy, Brian, and Steve.
