RE: Common or IBM Tech Conf?

[Al Barsa <barsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No one at a Tech Conf will ever tell you that a "release sucks".  But I
know someone at COMMON that will tell you the truth!

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
