I mainly go to them for a free trip to London, which I suspect is why most people go. Some boring seminar in the morning, followed by a few hours wandering around the The National Gallery looking at paintings - that's my idea of a good day at work!
At SW Austin the conference events go from 7AM until 2AM. You have to skip a ton of stuff to be able to do anything "extra."

I wasn't until I started going to SpiceWorld. I was invited as a speaker or I would have never even attempted going.
I enjoy speaking, just not listening. I've only been asked to speak once at an ERP conference and it was great.

As far as I could tell from you and @ajstringham 's Facebook feeds, you spent the whole time eating and getting drunk.

That's because you are an ERP specialist

Pretty much sums it up. Well unless my boss is reading.

It is a drinking conference for sure. My feed is misleading, though, since it is specifically the feed for the bar events.

That's what they all say.

@Carnival-Boy seriously though, I spent most of my time talking with vendors and other IT people about specific subjects that will help me in the near term as well as a couple longer term projects.
I did attend three sessions, but only 2 of those were decent, and neither was for the reason listed.
I went to the powershell because I wanted to see how it was presented because I have heard how good they present and I am thinking about presenting next year.
I went to Pertino because I wanted to see what the iOS version looked like and because I wholeheartedly support that company . -
We had tons of good customer and vendor interactions. It was a great conference for us, extremely busy.

...and thanks for the kind words about our Powershell session! Martin and I love doing it and would enjoy doing a tool building session (like SAM said, a logic flow toward solving a problem).
Maybe a higher level session to be delivered at MangoCon?
Wait...there's going to be a MangoCon? I know I would be interested!

Other than the name being a work in progress, yes. There is another thread where it got mentioned. @Minion-Queen is kicking around ideas.
-
There will be in the next 6 months. Look for thread to go up soon on that. The what are we going to call it... no idea. MangoCon is dumb

ConMango via Convention.... with mango by convention, ha ha.

Mangos Locked in a Parking Garage? Oops...wrong convention...:P -
What about something like just "Connections" because that's really the goal.
