Will there be shuttles to and from the hotels that are a little farther away? If so, is it worth taking them, or just getting a cab?

But as we were going through registration the Hyatt had rooms for 180.00 per night so I ended up booking there Sunday-Friday. My second choice, for anyone else interested, was to rent an entire apartment through airbnb.com. That was actually cheaper, closer and nicer than the hotel. The only reason I didn't do it was because I didn't feel like dealing with paying for it myself and submitting an expense report. There were a lot of units available nearby (within blocks) John Marcum Sr. Desktop Architect Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP From: [email protected] [ mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rod Trent Sent: Friday, January 17, 2014 9:45 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [mssms] OT: TechEd 2014 Just a tip?any conference ? always fly in the day before. Registration opens early on Monday (7am), but you can register all day on Sunday. The keynote (Brad) will kick off at 8:30am and you?ll not want to miss this one. Thursday ends when you want it to, depending on the number of sessions you have planned and potential community events you want attend. There will be some significant community events each day (wink, wink). The closing party is from 7:30pm-11:30pm on Thursday, so you could fly out Thursday afternoon if you want to miss it. TechEd closing parties are phenomenal (i.e., they spend a LOT of money on venues, food, and celebrities). But, if you?re an aging MMS?er (like most of us) the closing event is probably not your bag anymore. Imagine 12,000 people attending the Dr. Seuss-themed closing party at MMS. I?ll be there, of course, but only to cover the community and social aspects of it.

I hope to have everything finalized shortly, but we are carving out a significant presence at the event to help ease MMS?ers into TechEd.

Where's the 1E party???? LOL John Marcum Sr. Desktop Architect Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP From: [email protected] [ mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rod Trent Sent: Friday, January 17, 2014 7:27 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [mssms] OT: TechEd 2014 I?ll be there. Right now about 20% of overall registration are MMS alumni, with about half of those who have never attended TechEd before. We?re working out the myITforum details and will have more info to share officially soon.

I am trying to book my trip today. The hotel rooms around the convention center are OUTRAGOUSLY expensive. $300.00-500.00 per night. My employer isn't going to go for that.
