Not true. There was a session last year and it was advertised from the beginning. All you guys should have showed up to give support. Oh well, that is the way the cookie crumbles

The place is not TechEd. TechEd is NOT a training event.

YET NOBODY GOES TO THE SESSIONS. It does not mean crap if there are a half-million of us. If only 30 people attend sessions at TechEd, it means there is no demand. I don't see where the mis-understanding is. It is a matter of economics.
