Wally's labs are always great! And, not just that, but you get to pick his brain. That, by itself, is worth a trip to Houston, IMO.

L:ooking like Phil W's comment is pretty much on the money.

I've also heard of a similar situation in Exchange and Office 365. But, back to the original question re: IT/DEV Connection (disclaimer: I was not there, so 2nd hand info here) last September: There was a short planning cycle available to expand it to include CfgMgr content (coincided with Rod's joining Penton Publishing I believe). Even with the short lead time, I heard a lot of very positive comments about the content delivered. This year of course will be dramatically different, having a full year between events, with the goal of heavy CfgMgr content being a core part of the conference. It's my personal opinion, based on both TechEd session review involvement and back room discussions around IT/Dev planning, that the latter conference will be a significant event for the members of this community. Once the respective session lists (and related levels) are public it should be easy to decide which is the better choice for you personally. It will all come down to what your personal needs are.

(The selection process takes quite a while with the huge number of session submissions received, and they choose not to publish it until all the speakers accept their slots, just in case anyone declines.) Thanks, -Michael From: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rod Trent Sent: Monday, March 3, 2014 1:09 PM To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: [mssms] IT/Dev Connection Considering that TechEd's session list has yet to make it out with two months before the event, I think we'll actually do pretty good. :) Call for sessions/speakers should go live late this week or early next week. Of course, we have to give a submission deadline, but we'll dig straight into the sessions right away and have a finished product in a couple weeks' time. I'd guess that the session/speaker list will be ready by mid-April if not sooner. That's still a good 5 months before the event kicks off.
