Here are a few more: * Talk to vendors that have other software and services that may be useful for your implementation.
* See demos of new products. * Get answers to technical questions from other Remedy developers/administrators and the engineers from BMC. * See how other companies are using the products and get ideas that I can apply at my company. * Take shortened classes to learn more, rather than spending an entire week on just one topic. * Get ITIL certified (if you aren't already, although you can probably do that cheaper at another place locally like I did.) I'm sure you can come up with more, but if you're trying to justify going there to your boss you have to look at it from a financial perspective. Perhaps there's a big project that would be saved money because you would be able to implement it faster by attending the conference? Perhaps there is some software you have a project to build, but can discover a cheaper out of the box solution from a third party vendor you wouldn't otherwise know about if you weren't at the conference? Or, if you are generally unhappy with the job and attending the conference would make you more likely to keep working there, let them know that. With the retirement of the baby boomers starting, a lot of employers are freaking out over employee retention and will make sure to do things like this to keep you around.
