SHARE attendance was higher than the last summer meeting (Boston) and a bit smaller than this past spring (Anaheim).

It is a *GIVEN* that any release of MVS is going to have a high attendance. Why on earth do they find the smaller rooms to stick it in? It would be one thing if its repeated (its almost never). I used to plan my day about getting to the session early and a seat.

If attendance at the various "receptions" is any indication, SHARE attendance was definitely DOWN in Orlando. Crowds at the CICS sessions I attended were definitely smaller than I've seen in the past, and the only z/OS 1.13 sessions I attended that were close to running out of seats were the ones held in "tiny" rooms. Despite my perception of decreased attendance, the sessions I attended were timely for our shop because we either have upgrades in progress or scheduled to start within the next month or so. -jc- > > Rob Schramm > Senior Systems Consultant > Imperium Group > > > > On Fri, Aug 12, 2011 at 11:07 AM, Mark Zelden <m...@mzelden.com> wrote: > > > >Wow!
