Interestingly, the International DB2 Users Group (IDUG) publishes a "Justification Toolkit" for just this kind of question.

Perhaps a few of those folks would post a short description of their justification technique for SHARE attendance/participation. Such a list of suggestions might help many people figure out how to make a business case for SHARE attendance. THANKS!
