RE: IBM Power Conference - UPDATED -- MIDRANGE-L

At the IBM Technical conference the only speakers are IBM speakers, with
the exception of Jon Paris and Susan Gantner. So you get a lot of the
same sessions that you get at COMMON, minus the non-IBM speakers.

At the last technical conference in Scottsdale, I think the number of
attendees was about 350 - with an unusually large portion of those
people coming from IBM technical support areas.

IMO, They used to be comparable, but the Tech Conference has really
lagged behind lately.

Used to be very comparable.
Of the "big names" many of the same speakers. More IBMers
than outsiders at the IBM conference though.
Common's expo and iSocial has gotten better with meals but
the IBM conference supplies them all except breakfast.
Never known the IBM conference to as spread out (like
different hotels,
etc) as COMMON conferences often are.

However, it's all subject to change. Earlier this list
reported that this will be the first time in a long time that
Jon Paris won't be at the IBM conference. Now is that
because they're sticking with more IBM badges, or has the
sessions on RPG faltered?

I have been pretty much a COMMON attendee recently. Can
anyone compare
the
IBM offering to the COMMON conference?
