(Disclaimer: I'm involved with this group...) If you're looking for system administration training you should take a look at this event. While it is in Phoenix, but if you can't get away for a week for LISA in DC, this might be a good option for you.
SysAdmin Days is a two-day training workshop for system administrators to focus on all the aspects of their professional development, both technical and otherwise. Workshops are available for both specific platforms and technologies and general system administration practices, including Mac OS X Administration, PHP, and Perl. We'll also have sessions about topics important for any sysadmin, including Drafting Policy Documents, Communications Skills, and Time Management. Instructors include Tom Limoncelli, co-author of The Practice of System and Network Administration and Time Management for System Administrators, Mike Halligan, CTO of BitPusher, George Toft, CISSP, MSIS from www.myITaz.com, and more!
