RE: Conference choice

Went to that one last year. Very good. Smaller than COMMON, but more focused
on app. Development, I think. (the hotel is nice; the only complaint I have
is that it's in Florida during hurricane season - that kind of makes me
nervous; I live in Louisiana and my house got a new skylight courtesy of
Katrina and a couple of errant pine trees). Probably won't go again this
year due to corp. budgets, but it was worth it to go last year. I now have
no fear of ILE and service programs.

Subject: Conference choice

Got an email from someone here offering me a choice between 

IBM Tech Conference
http://www-304.ibm.com/jct03001c/services/learning/ites.wss?pageType=page&c=
a0000709
http://www-304.ibm.com/jct03001c/services/learning/ites.wss?pageType=page&c=
a0000716

AS/400 (whatever that is) Connection Conference
http://www.as400connection.com

(Someone else is going to COMMON.)

I don't go to conferences because of amenities.  I go there to learn. I've
been to the IBM Tech Conference a few times.  Never been to the other. 
What do you recommend for someone like me?  I do a lot of
- Programming
- Fixing OS problems
- Mentoring others on newer stuff
- Domino administration
- fart!ng around on these lists :-)
