I felt (purely personal thinking, BTW) that I had a choice between getting a Universal Subscription to the MSDN or going to Devcon. I chose the former.

If, however, by some chance I'm in Orlando at that time (it's a possibility), I may try to hunt down some of the attendees after hours, and pick their brains. :-)
