>As Chris stated, you get alot of the same speakers and topics at Whilfest. However, the Microsoft representation will be much higher and there will be more attendees in San Diego. It's also NOT Milwaukee in winter.


I'm coming from Minnesota, Milwaukee will be like a tropical vacation! But anyway, to rephrase the original question, putting all costs and climate conditions and everything else aside, as far as the content and educational possibilities go, which is the better?
Thanks,
