On the other hand, at the Tech Conferences, you get the gospel according to
IBM, at COMMON you get the truth.

That is one thing that the IBM iSeries Tech conf has going for it also.
More included meals.  However, I think it's been noticed on this list that
the vendors at COMMON have been doing a fine job for many of the meals.
One person said he spent less than $100 for meals for a full week.

Re: COMMON in Minneapolis - affordable hotels.. (Don)






Last time I was there I think the conf was in what, October?  I stayed up
by the ice rink...about a 10 block walk...was great...and I
really could use the extra exercise...lots of nice "jazz" on the walk as
well... :)

I'm really annoyed that the nuisance tax has gone up to $200.  It was
interesting that at the fall conference in Orlando, IBM had the pSeries
tech conf basically next door to COMMON's hotel...the attendee room rate
was like $130/n...and the facilities were nice....and people were fed
b'fast
and lunch at the conf...and the costs more than covered it....  And they
had less attendees...
