I'm not sure I could get to 5-6. 3-4 maybe. What would I do with the rest of my
time?
When I heard this was happening, I was excited. BMC was running it! The real
insiders! There would be more discussions on the other BMC tools! All the good
stuff all in one place! Adventure and excitement!
Now that I have seen the agenda, it's all about meh... Where are the technical discussions for us
who don't need hand holding and the "New Remedy User Experience?" Where are the
"ways to use Remedy that you never thought of?" How about Misi and seeing how he
integrates things with Remedy? Where are the little customers and big customers explaining how they
do things with Remedy?
This sounds like a lot of Marketing types there to sell me stuff.
And stop pushing The Cloud!

Looks like they updated the session times to more reasonable values. Some of that may be time zone adjustment, but at least evenings now look free for networking and other activities.
I know that not everyone is ready for the advanced stuff, and that we need
sessions at all levels. But I see maybe 5-6 breakouts I would definitely
attend. The rest are kinda meh...

First off, as to Claire's earlier comment, I am truly flattered.....
I'm not sure why anyone would have thought this to be any different then it has
ALWAYS been when BMC ran this thing. I still remember giving an ear full to
some poor staffer in San Diego back in 2006 (I think) about how upset I was
that it was nothing more then one long marketing tool for the ITSM suite....
At the time, all I did was development, and it was pretty darn evident that BMC
no longer wished to sell the ARSystem as a development platform.
I've not been able to get to many of these since I left the University of
Washington (it is so much harder to convince a profit motivated manager of
these things then a University manager!), and I had hoped to go to this, but
now I'm not so sure.... Maybe I'm just better off finding a good class
somewhere....
BMC, you really need to start listening to this group. They are some of your
Remedy products biggest fans. We can can be a bit of handful sometimes, but we're
worth it! Stop treating this as a way to just sell your products. We've already
bought into that. Instead, think about how YOU can help US to better leverage
these products. Do a better job in running this event. Perhaps give it to the
education and engineering/R&D departments, and leave the sales staff at home!
*sigh*

seems they are going back to how BMC used to run the conference. too bad there
is no more WWRUG. i guess the guys got burned out. :(

By doing our own thing we would simply be creating an overlay on ENGAGE. Once
we create the overlay we can customize and changes by BMC won't have an impact.
Except if they delete one of us in base, that will have an impact on the
overlay.

Not if you do it from a hotel room though? I'll pitch in for a suite. We can
set up a google hang out and a live tweet session.

Yeah I proposed this... Somekind of "genius bar" or something, maybe panel
like, or small breakouts or something...
Could have been setup like a "mini community onsite" using Matt for this...
Maybe we could squat the booth location for this when it's not attended? If
it's like wwrug, it's just opened for lunch / not a long time, we could use the
place to do some small groups about a theme or something?
So, a mix between the "bird & the feathers", "genius bar", "community" and
whatever?
We could even stream it live on the net so the others could see it (that could
be a problem with BMC rules though).

I was willing to sponsor a technical/learning lab at the conference. Reached
out to numerous people. Deaf ears. Oh well... I'm still going. Love networking
(by networking I mean drinking) with you guys if you decide to go.

The evening is still there, Tuesday from 6 to 8 PM:
http://www.eventmgmt.aimia.com/events/bmc-engage-2014/custom-20-2bc888d975f2496db5d3f819b9735209.aspx
But that's weird... Since breakouts continue from 6 to 9 PM on tuesday... So or
you go stalk the Engineers (and potentially miss 2 breakouts), or you attend
the breakouts (and miss the candy)?

Not impressed. My first impress is welcome back BMC Marketing World. We
haven't missed you all these years. Maybe I need to just let it soak in for a
day or two?.?.?.
Unless I am overlooking something it seems there are very few presentations by
customers.

I’ll wait for the agenda and hope they extend the early bird rate. I can see it now…
ME: Hi Mr. Director, please spend thousands of dollars for me to be gone for
almost a week for a conference where we have no idea what the content is.
There is an early bird discount!!!
DIR: Come back when you have an agenda and a firm grasp on what you sessions
are going to attend AND how much you are going to spend.

I believe early bird pricing expires July 31st. So, if the agenda is out today or
tomorrow, that is just "under the wire".
However, I had to make a call last week, so I registered and paid for the conference
with the understanding that I could de-register up to a certain date with a $75.00
"admin" fee. Well, we'll see about that. :-)

I’m glad I’m not alone in the trying to get approval for a conference that we
have no idea what the content is… There should not be “early bird” pricing that
expires before the detailed agenda is even published, in my opinion.

They missed one mark… in order to get a room you have to go through their conference desk. We are adults. We should be able to make our own reservations.
If the conference is more “sales” than technical, there is no way I can get
approval. I’ll be disappointed if they go back to the way it was before it
became WWRUG!

I agree that our WWRUG friends are much better at communicating and giving
people the information they need to decide, get approvals and make travel
arrangements than BMC. Let's just hope they don't completely miss the mark on
this conference.
