>>I Val posted a few month back about Foxteach have less frills than the big devcons. Is this the same for Whilfest? For example val said there were no expensive trip out to an amusement park, no conference bag, no t-shirt... his rational was that if you go to a lot of conferences you don't need this stuff.

>I have convinced my boss, finnally, to get me to one of the events on VFP. He obviously choosed Whilfest because of the diference in the price from Devcons. He tought the company is sending me to a conference not to a vacation but certanly I don't care and hope everything goes fine so I can make my way to Milwaukee.

That's great. I went to my first Devcon in Orlando in May. Was a great experience.
