They don't have any information about registration yet. If the cost is
not prohibitive, I may attend, as it is not that far from my parents home
and I can take that opportunity for a visit.

I am sure much of it will be depressingly Microsoft-based. 8-\

A lot of the once-per-year national conferences I deal with try to shift
it around year by year -- one year on the east coast, the next on the
west, then one in the midwest.
