I'm going to the conference for many reasons. The ones that you might identify with are: 1. To learn from others in the field about features of MX. 2. To know who's who and let them know me. Jobs come more from personal relationships than from just sending out a resume. 3. To let people know I'm available for work Anyone who needs to look for a reason to go can just think of those three and the reason should be obvious. Your going to learn there. There's no ifs, ands or buts. You'll be listening to top people in the field talk to you on a personal level about the technology that you will need to know in the near future. This saves some of the cost of classes, books and the sort. If your there, your seen. Others know who you are. For example, there was one conference a few years back where someone mentioned that he did adult sites in CF with great security. Just that mention and a little talking about it led people to contact him for sites. Was it worth it to be there in that respect? definitely. Personally, if I don't have a new position by the time I go to the conference, I'll be letting people know I'm available and the chance of me walking away with a job is rather high. Why? Besides who I am, it'll be because they've met me, know me to some degree and can talk to me in a non-business setting. I expect a number of jobs to come from the conference.
