Gil, This is always a good conference. A good spot for 'David' and 'Goliath' ! How would you like to introduce another term to the audience - SimpleSync. It isn't a 'hologram' - just some solid, simple code to get the job done. 225 major customers worldwide have selected SimpleSync for GAL sync and AD provisioning. http://cps11.dnsalias.net/ss-customers/ I think your audience would enjoy the opportunity to learn about a product that can be invaluable for mergers and acquisitions as well as normal GAL sync and provisioning. I hope there is a 'Room in the Inn'. Best regards, Jerry

Along with the usual technically-focused AD content, we've added a few new things: * We are hosting the North American MMSUG (MIIS Users Group) meeting as a separate MIIS track. Now you can learn the meanings of words like "metaverse" and "connectorspace", and my favorite: "hologram". * We are including sessions on other Microsoft IdM technologies including AD Federation Services. * For the pointy-haired boss in your life, there will be a half-day management session that includes an NDA AD strategy briefing by Stuart Kwan. * Is your AD-fu great? Now you can know for sure. This year we will have an AD security shootout with two teams trying to break into and subvert their opponents' Active Directory. (And yes, this time the hw/sw environment is being built by professionals, not me bolting together a bunch of half-a**ed PCs at the last minute.) Many of your favorite n'er-do-wells will be speaking: * Uber-PUM Stuart Kwan * Guido "Propane" Grillenmeier * Andreas "It is not a tumor" Luther * Wook "The Philosopher" Lee and his partner in crime Jesse "I gotta get me a cool nickname" Sutela * Alain Lissoir (author of the WMI Scriptonomicon) * Paul "I'd tell you but I'd have to kill you" Rich * Deji "How the hell do I type those funny characters" Ak�m�l�f� and a cast of thousands. The facilities look great, you'll meet a bunch of really smart AD- and MIIS- focused people, and I guarantee that you will learn a lot. And if clowns and pony rides aren't enough to convince you to attend, there's always the infamous "no one leaves the room till dawn" pre-conference poker game, where the score is currently NetPro sales guys 1, US Air Force 0. Find out more at http://www.netpro.com/events/dec2005 BTW the call for papers is still open. If you have an insteresting AD or MIIS-related case-study or other AD-technology related presentation you'd like to make, follow the "Call for papers" link at the bottom of the page. Attention AD MVPs: email at mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] if your management needs some convincing.
