Re: Short survey

Second Don's note about WMCPA - absolutely the best bang for the buck in the Midwest. I haven't been there in years, but Jim Buck does a bang-up job there. Also in the Chicagoland area don't forget the OMNI Technical Conference (which just happens to be next Tuesday!). Again, I haven't been in forever but they always have great speakers.

Hmm... I sense a trend... great conferences that I don't speak at... ;)

Sorry, I forgot to also include Jon/Susan's Summit conference for developers
as well....

Sorry Jon...been up to my keester in B/I and data analytics for the last
year...and just got in... Getting old sucks... :)

Larry,

You may want to double check the actual schedule of this conference.
HISTORICALLY it's had little to nothing for developers, especially
developers on the "I" environment...it's been, historically, heavy AIX,
linux, hardware, hardware and hardware.... If you want anything for
developers and systems admin folks, you need to be sending them to the main
COMMON conference...or to the OCEAN conference....or the TUG
conference....or the Wisconsin group conference....

My company is sending a bunch of us to the IBM Tech Conference in Florida
next month. I usually prefer Common and go there, but it will be nice to
check out the IBM conference for the first time in a while. Anyone else
going to the IBM Conference?

I may go the spring conference...oh...Orlando. Maybe the next spring
conference. Whoops...Anaheim. Maybe Indy. I could get a steak and shrimp
cocktail at St. Elmo's.

If not, why not.
