I must say that I hope this year will be better than last. I really don't aim to start a flame thread, but I really hope there are some better speakers. I took a day off of work to attend last year's conference and ended up disappointed. All but one of the sessions I attended were comprised of lackluster speakers promoting their company's product. While I understand that events like this need sponsorship, there must be some kind of value proposition.
On the other hand, I got some free t-shirts and a book or two. All the vendors I talked to were knowledgable and that had some cool stuff on display. I'm still mad at the guy who won something like three ipods in the raffles. Thankfully, he gave up the last one to someone else, though. ;) Shawn On 9/29/06, Lisa Lorenzin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
