I'm excited to be presenting at the NCTech4Good conference in Chapel Hill tomorrow on Upgrading to Drupal 7, and thought I'd post my slides here and a few other resources for those who are interested.

Jay Roberts and Kosta Harlan, Developers at DesignHammer, will be presenting at the 2011 NCTech4Good Conference.

The conference will take place April 15, 2011 at the William and Ida Friday Center in Chapel Hill, NC.
