That's a shame that IBM won't allow non-IBM presenters. Since I'm not
working now, it doesn't make much difference to me, but if I had a full time
job, I think I would just skip the IBM conference and go to Share, provided
my employer would send me. I've been to two IBM conferences, and two Share
conferences. Both have good and bad points. The IBM sessions are slightly
longer, (at least when I went), but that means there are a few less of them
each day. I think the IBM conference had a half day off on Wednesday, if I
remember, which was really nice to go do something (or am I misremembering).
One thing about the difference between the 2 - the IBM conference had a lot
fewer sessions to choose from, which made it a lot easier to pick sessions.
That could be either a plus or a minus. But, also most sessions at the IBM
conference were repeated once. At Share, it seemed the stuff I really
really wanted to see was all on one or two days, meaning there were a lot of
sessions that I just couldn't see.

That would be hard to do, since I doubt the agenda is even close to
finalized at this point. Also, as Ed Jaffe noted, a lot of non-IBM
speakers are likely not be there this year, so they're going to have to
work even harder than usual to get the schedule set up.
