The last time I attended a conference was Lotusphere -97 in Nice, France. |

I'm interested But need visa/permit to come all the way to visit and attend and learn from the conference. Wish IBM could have offered me that. I'm not that lucky 
You are lucky though !

I was looking for the specific 'emoticon' to show my interest, emoticon 'raising hand' (as we used to do in class rooms as a volunteer)  . It should have been there !

I was interested until I saw the price! What with travel and accommodation it's looking to cost in the region of 3,000 Euro and I can't justify that.

I agree. You must be self-employed, too? I discussed this with myself and agreed that we can justify this cost every fifteen years. Not that I expect to learn anything worth that money, but to meet the people.

I argued good and long but lost! I should be more assertive with my self, but haven't yet mastered Vitor's trick of multiple voices in my head - I have to use a mirror.

Although I wouldn't be too far, I'm not giving up a week vacation and spending 4,000 Euros for that (Travel + Hotel + conference ) ( 1000 + 800 to 1000 + 1999 )...
So sorry Guys, I'll be watching you from the other side of the Rhine...

They're just corporate big-fish oriented; no thinking about us minnows. I was most impressed with the €100 'book early for Christmas' discount - not! Another zero at the end of it would be more like it, especially as my slush fund budget for this year was blown on the Pub/Sub course.
