CA-WORLD had a very significant Mainframe focus. Mainframe 2.0 was discussed from the CEO's keynote all the way down to technical sessions by some familiar faces. http://www.ca.com/us/products/collateral.aspx?cid=192430 http://www.ca.com/us/solutions/mainframe.aspx http://www.itpro.co.uk/608415/ca-world-skills-gap-as-oap-mainframe-staff-leave Best Regards, Sam Knutson, GEICO System z Performance and Availability Management mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (office) 301.986.3574 (cell) 301.996.1318 Think big, act bold, start simple, grow fast...

Yes, it was worth the investment, even for myself as a consultant being off the clock. Aside from the Microsoft Office 2007 full-license freebie, I scheduled and spent more than three hours with multiple CA product technicians and Ramp;D staff, who were genuinely interested in listening to client interests and needs. Very satisfying indeed. While there were technical sessions on CA products and other interfacing third-party software solutions, as well, the opportunities to network and let someone else buy you are drink were numerous. Fortunately, CA has relaxed some of that we can't talk about futures (at least not in the 'light'), which proved quite useful to see what's either in or near beta, what with technology moving so fast. And I noticed fewer marketing types and more experienced support and RD technical staff from CA in attendance. If considering CA World attendance in April 2010 in Los Angelss, take the opportunity to visit the CA World website, build what would have been a virtual agenda, had you attended, review the available handouts, gain insight and share the content with others on your fave topics, and then use that bargaining-chip to attend the next conference. And also consider investing time to develop a 45-minute presentation/discussion, related to a CA product you or your enterprise might use, and CA will waive your conference fee altogether.

Re: CA World in Las Vegas
Hi, a Contigent of Geico people or a 'Contigent of Cave-men ? Could you take all those Contigent of GEICO adverts with you too.. we are getting tired of all those funny GEICO adverts. I think, it's better if GEICO puts all that Advertizing money into quality of service to real customers. Note: i did see that Genre's shares dropped below $100,000, now we have to hope those Geico adverts will go away too.
