RE: Common or IBM Tech Conf?

["Holder, Ken" <kkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been to both Common and the Tech Conference many times.  I prefer the Tech 
Conference.  I feel it's had more detail in the sessions.  This has changed a 
bit now that Common's sessions are longer then 50 minutes and attendance is 
down.  Downside is you get the IBM only side of the world.  If you looking at 
third party solution or presentation Common is the better option.  I always 
inform my managers and IT architects they should attend Common.  

Just my opinions.

Howdy group.  I was unable to attend the recent Common conference because of
moving into a new house, but I will be able to attend the upcoming IBM Tech
conference.  I wanted to get a feel for the feelings of this mailing list on
what they prefer and why.  Please comment.  I just don't want to waste money
on going to the IBM conference if I would be better served by waiting for
the next Common!

Thanks, Larry
