I had the pleasure of speaking at Tech Ed Atlanta last week.
While there, I also spoke at the Atlanta Silverlight User Group.
The week prior, I also got to speak at the Hampton Roads .NET User
Group in Virginia Beach, VA. I had a great time at of them, and met
some great developers interested in Silverlight and WPF.
Here are the materials from those events

DEV337 Moving your App and Skills from Windows Forms to
Microsoft Silverlight (and WPF)
Let's tackle moving a Windows Forms application to Silverlight.
We cover the differences between the platforms and overall
approaches, look at what is successful, and then run through an
application migration using a data-oriented Windows Forms
application. At the end of this session, you'll have seen a Windows
Forms app moved to Silverlight, have seen the decision points for
choosing between Silverlight and Windows Presentation Foundation
(WPF), and will understand what you need to do to get started
porting your Windows Forms knowledge and applications to XAML-based
platforms.

What you can do with these
I hope you learn something valuable from each of these talks.
You are also free to use my slide decks and demos in your own
presentations at local, corporate and regional events (if you are
going to submit to a national event or speak in the mid-atlantic
area using these, let me know to make sure I'm not trying for the
same thing). Of course, you'll want to mix them up a bit and add
your own flavor to them, but I hope these help get you started. The
videos are not my property, so check with Channel 9 if you intend
to use them for something.
That said, what you use, you use at your own risk. I don't make
any guarantees as to fitness of the demos, decks, or other
information as you may present to others.
