Just not the way it's done. Like other events, there are various parties that go on during the week after conference hours. Keep Tuesday night open, btw.

But Drew Brees saved the day by making an appearance and throwing touchdown passes to the attendees. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVx7Gh4iCew#t=33 I guess Tina Turner showed up, but we left before that. It wasn't the House of Blues, but it wasn't bad either.

MMS's closing party's started off good: Jim Belushi and Dan Akroyd @ House of Blues, Los Lobos @ ESPN Zone, Gaslamp District crawl @ San Diego . then they went in the toilet capped off with your mentioned event :( From: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rod Trent Sent: Friday, January 17, 2014 10:45 AM To: [email protected] <mailto:[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.

Right now about 20% of overall registration are MMS alumni, with about half of those who have never attended TechEd before.

I am trying to book my trip today. The hotel rooms around the convention center are OUTRAGOUSLY expensive. $300.00-500.00 per night.
