An endorsement for #3...
When I was fortunate enough to go to COMMON, I always made it a point to
attend at least one session that was not technical and way out of my
comfort
zone.
Trevor Perry sometimes has these, they usually include audience
participation, and they ended up well worth it.

Justin, I'll offer some practical advice for any conference as it's your
first.
1. Treat your feet well. Wear comfortable walking shoes. You'll do quite a
bit of running around over the course of the conference, plus airports and
mucking about downtown at night. Whatever you do, don't bring brand new
shoes and break them in there. On a related note, I always pack twice the
socks I'd regularly need because I do a mid-day sock change and sometimes
again before heading out at night. This is number 1 for a reason. Your
will fail you before anything else.and
2. Attend the events. Mixers, socials, parties...whatever you want to call
them. Don't hang out in your hotel room when the sessions are over for the
day. The people you meet and the stories you hear are worth the price of
admission alone.
3. Go to some sessions that are way outside your comfort zone. The great
thing about all these sessions is that they'll offer you plenty of
perspective.

Subject: COMMON advice
This morning, our Windows manager dropped a COMMON brochure on my desk and
told me he wants me to go. After I fell out of my chair, I began looking
at
the sessions. I've been in this business for a long time, but I've never
been to a conference or any kind of training. I'm hoping to solicit some
advice on what sessions to attend.
We're a 2.5 man shop running mostly 5250 apps on a 720. I'm both a dev
the admin. My primary dev role is connecting IBMi with non-5250 clients,webservices
originally via Db2 stored procedures (RPG & SQL) and now mostly
(DIY RPG CGI & CGIDEV2). I have about a dozen web apps done usingCGIDEV2,
jQuery, HTML and JS. I know some Java and have a couple of Java utilitylist
apps.
I'd like to attend every session, but that's not really possible. So I'd
love some help narrowing down the choices.
TIA
