How about we all get a "BMC cancelled the conference and all I got was
this lousy t-shirt" t-shirt?

It depends on your budget year. Yours runs by calendar year. Ours is
from October to October. Federal is the same. Some states are July to
July.
BMC was put in a no win situation. They are trying to make the best of
it.
Maybe those of us that had registered can get some of the shirts that
they had made up. An interesting souvenir for an non-event.

To go further on that, most companies have training budget for each
seperate year, and if they push the conference past the end of the year,
then they are making life harder for all of their customers' accounting.
For example, I already paid for registration, air travel, etcl, but if
the hotel is next year, it would come off of my 2009 budget rather than
my 2008 budget. If I wanted to move money from this year to next I'd
have to escalate that up to at least the CIO if not higher.

The other thing that BMC needs to consider is this.
Assuming the 2008 conference is not feasible in November and December,
because of Thanks Giving and Christmas holidays, if BMC does two
conferences in 2009, let's say the first one in January, and the second
one in fall, how are you going to call them? 2009a and 2009b?
Which brings the interesting question, how could somebody justify to
their manager going to 2 conferences for the same vendor on the same
year? Seems to me right there you would split the conference attendance
in half, as I don't see many people attending two 2009 BUWs.

I would have to agree with that logic. Might as well push it back a
few
months from January so they can release information abou the next
version.
