hrm, so I just spent a whole day, waking up at 5:45 am mind you, at a conference touting itself as Angelbeat 2006.  I don’t know why I’ve been getting the chance to go to all these conferences lately, but I have, and who am I to not take advantage of a learning opportunity right? 

So we head down there, and my main goal is to build some ties for those students who will follow me in the IS discipline, hopefully giving them some “conference” atmosphere experience in the future.  In that regard, today was a success.  I made contacts, and got enough experience to be able to recommend students for a sponsored trip next year.  In all most other regards, the conference was meh.  I did appreciate a few good presentations by a few companies who seemed interested in selling their product, though the technical aspect of their products was offered in your typical “_____ for dummies” format, which I found to be less than engaging.  The rest of the presenters didn’t have much to say, which made for some long 30 minute speeches.  All in all, they took great care of us, were gracious hosts, so to Ron and Angelbeat, thanks a ton.  To two hours of vista love from Microsoft presenters….. good riddance.

So I was given the opportunity to attend the big VMWare event of the year thanks to the folks at BYUH who were my kind sponsors. I was pretty excited about getting to be at the event where all the who’s who of virtual computing would be around to rub shoulders and answer questions and the like, and through the whole experience I was not disappointed.
