Hi Gary.

What difference is in the content between the three day and four day format? Also, what are the dates of the show?

PMFJI, but I can tell you (as both an attendee and a speaker) that this conference is one of the very best events I have ever attended. As a matter of fact, the first time I went to the Frankfurt conference in 1998, I paid all of my own expenses ( IOW, I was NOT a speaker ) from the U.S. and was very happy with the value I got.

The content is great and Rainer makes sure that there is always at least one session in English for every single time slot. The speaker list this year includes Jim Booth, Steven Black (and this is the only conference this year that Steven is speaking at), Andy Kramek, Toni Feltman, Drew Speedie, Rick Strahl and Kevin McNeish. You can sit in the bar in the evenings one-on-one with the speakers and the beer is free (even for the attendees!).

The first year that I attended I took a Mediterranean cruise before I went to Frankfurt. I managed to lose weight on the cruise, but I gained weight in Frankfurt because the food was so good! That is kind of unbelievable for a technical conference.

I hope to see you in Frankfurt next month.
