Re: LotusSphere -- DOMINO400

Thank you for your response.  I appreciate it.

My boss, and I, like our beers as much as the next fellow.  However, one 
paragraph for the conference benefits, and two for the social aspects 
probably is not a marketing technique that will impress him in this tight 
budget period.  He already won't let me go to conferences in exotic places 
like Marcos Island - calls it a 'compucruise'.  Indianapolis - now that's 
a turn on.  Means business.

Would approaching this like how I approach COMMON be a good thing?  I pick 
the sessions I would go to and then decide if it is worth it?  Does their 
web site show their session grid?

It's never too late.  I think registration is still open.  Airfare at this
late date might kill you though.

I have been going to Lotusphere for 3 years now.  I have always thought it
was a benefit.  It is a real good mix of people at all levels and skills.
It is a great place to get your questions answered. They have things set 
up
so that you can talk to the developers of Notes/Domino face-to-face.

The one year, I almost ran into Francis Ford Coppla (sp?) after the 
opening
session.  That was way cool.  First time I ever got to see somebody that
famous that close up.  Also, the parties on Wednesday night make it all
worth it.

It is not iSeries specific though.  They usually have the Domino iSeries
people there though on the show floor.  We usually end up asking them a 
few
questions every year.  Plus they (iSeries people) usually have a 'special'
party of their own one night during the week.  The one year, we got to go
to the House of Blues and see Terry Bradshaw do a little stand-up act.  He
actually is pretty funny!  That was the year they had all kinds of sports
legends there.

Pretty much a safe bet that it's too late this year, but is LotusSphere
worth it?  If so, what kind of audience:  Developers, Systems Analysts, VP
of IS, help desk, power user, other line of business people.
