It always amazes me how these things sneak up. Now is the time to decide to go.
I have seen less chatter about the conference than the past five years, yet to me there are reasons to be excited: BMC has decided to be mainstream again and run a conference They noticed what they had initially scheduled wrong and greatly increased the Remedy content [yes, it will never be enough for us this year since the past 5 years there were 4 days of pure Remedy, and when didn't the arslist complain about there not being enough technical sessions? Bet I can find that discussion in 1998] If we all show up we can encourage them to do more next year, and more importantly, we can take things in the direction we want even at this conference As much as I got a kick being the chair for the last 5 years, I am looking forward to being an attendee again. You wouldn't believe how much work actually goes into one. [Of course there is still a WWRUG15IN event in the works, possibly a WWRUGXXAP but nothing for North America in terms of an annual conference, that is now BMC]. For me it has always been worth going just for the Evening with Engineering, the updates and meeting with fellow attendees, 3rd party vendors and of course BMC\Remedy folks. The sessions help fill the time in between, and some are worth the trip all on their own, just takes one great topic\presentation to solve an issue or inspire a new direction. Of course if in the end it is a repeat of 2007 UserWorld, there could be a WWRUG15 ... Dan JAA: Just Another Attendee Disclaimer: These are my opinions.
