RE: Which conferences do you attend -- MAPICS-L




I remember going to COMMON with close to 5K people. I think San Antonio had
the largest turnout ever, which is where COMMON is in May 2 - 7, 2004.
They won't have 5K people this time...

 I think it is better now with less people.  Part of that is you now get
the session handouts on CD vs. paper handouts.  They never seemed to have
enough handouts for people attending the sessions.

COMMON used to do this, but lack of attendance caused many of these
companies to pull away from COMMON.

We worked very hard with MAPICS to come back to COMMON and they have
been coming sporadically, but they get absolutely no traffic or
attendance in their sessions to warrant the return. COMMON itself used
to drawn 5K people, now it is under 2K. Many vendors prefer to just
stick to their conferences or generic business conferences. They are
looking for leads.

It would be really nice someone would be able to do a COMMON'ish type
conference and then have enough time and space for a MAPICS, BPCS, etc.,
conference so that you could get BOTH the tech and the application
sessions at one place...kinda like JDE does....

Be nice if COMMON would do that...may even help thier attendance
numbers....but, then I could also win the lotto.... :)
