I doubt my old company would still be willing to foot my bill now that I'm moving on. I'll have to make it a priority for next year though.

Go figure! ;) Have fun at Whistler if you all make it!

It is a technology conference focused entirely on AD and intimately related technologies like DNS, ADFS, etc. The presenters are about a third/a third/a third Microsoft Program Managers, industry consultants (e.g. HP, EDS), and enterprise Active Directory customers. The topics are targeted toward technically savvy engineers, architects, and administrators who have been running AD for a while, i.e., there are no introductory "This is what an OU is" type sessions. There are also no product-pitch sessions... the sessions are all focused on understanding and using AD technology successfully. DEC is also a great place for networking with the Microsoft product team as well as other AD technicians. We've expanded DEC this year to include an MIIS track, which reflects Microsoft's direction of integrating their various IdM technologies. Stuart Kwan (Directory of Program Management for Identity and Access at Microsoft) will be discussing the future of AD, AD/AM, MIIS, ADFS, ID Card, etc. during the keynote. Find out more and register at www.netpro.com/events/dec2005. As far as the ski trip is concerned, they are just rumors. I haven't had a chance to even think about it. But I know some people are planning to head off to Whistler after the conference. I'm not sure I'm ready to give up the Chicken though... :) -gil -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2005 8:00 AM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] DEC questions I heard a rumor that Gil was organizing a post DEC ski trip to Whistler and there would be a Chinese Downhill to determine who goes home with the rubber chicken.

I think I have learned more at this conference than any other I have attended. It is very focused, intimate and full of some incredibly interesting people who are out there doing it. The content ranges in complexity but almost all is going to be accessible if you have been working with AD for years. What helps at this show is after the talk you are having conversations with attendees who can clarify topics based on their own experiences as well as provide tips on how it may be applicable to your situation. Like Joe mentioned the ability to have candid conversations with people from Microsoft is also incredibly valuable. There are a slew of Microsoft people there and they are all focused on Directories and surrounding technologies. The networking outside of the Microsoft people is also a great value. Oh yeah, occasionally watching hung over people try to pay attention to deep DNS discussions is sort of fun as well <G>. Being a hung over person trying to pay attention to deep DNS discussions, well, that is not quite as fun! I hope to see you there. Kevin From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Cliffe Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2005 12:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] DEC questions Hi all, Hope you don't mind these... My company has considered the idea of sending a couple of us to the conference, but are wondering if they should use our vouchers to have us attend some AD troubleshooting workshops [by Microsoft] instead. While I don't know any specific details as to what that entails, we've also never been to one of these DECs! Our managers have asked us to justify in writing what we think we'll get out of this conference, and if it will prove more worthwhile than the MS offering (again - sorry that I don't know exactly *what* that is). Myself? I have 4+ years in a live AD environment, and can honestly say that some of what I've seen written on this list zooms high overhead (!), while other stuff falls right in line, so am hoping that I would be a good candidate to attend. I see many testimonials, etc...on the conf. website, so just hoping to get any brief thoughts from anyone - with many thanks in advance! -DaveC Reuters AITS Infrastructure ----------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our Internet site at http://www.reuters.com Get closer to the financial markets with Reuters Messaging - for more information and to register, visit http://www.reuters.com/messaging Any views expressed in this message are those of the individual sender, except where the sender specifically states them to be the views of Reuters Ltd.
