Nope.  Nothing like that.  And they have an unbeatable lineup of
speakers: Gantner and Paris on RPG, Coulthard and Farr on WDSC.
Denoncourt, Pelkie and Mason on various other technologies including
lots of XML and Web Services and Wireless stuff.  And they let in people
like me and Brad, as well <grin>. 

And labs, man there are labs.  Two rooms with 40 PCs with wireless
connections, each to its own dedicated model 825, with labs running
nonstop in each room for pretty much the entire conference.

Why do I say "pretty much"?  Because while this is a three-day
conference, the conference managers also included a couple of jumpstart
sessions for those who wanted to attend early, so in effect there were
FOUR days of labs in a three day conference.

And of course, you can always come to one of my sessions and heckle.  I
usually give three or four sessions and a bunch of hands-on labs.
