I could make DC work since our headquarters is out there. Much easier to
justify than Vegas.

There are three problems with Vegas:
1. It is not that cheap to stay on the strip (and would you want to go
anywhere else?) 2. We would be just "another" conference, where in DC we
could get a lot of local support.
3. I live in DC, so that's a lot of "free" groundwork that I can do.
Maybe Vegas after a successful year here? :-)

Hi All,
=20
At the THIN list dinner at Shula's at iForum last year, a bunch of us guys
and gals sat around and talked about all sorts of things.
=20
One thing we discussed was that we felt that iForum was turning into an
"industry event" as opposed to a good old fashioned tech conference. We
discussed creating our own vendor-neutral server-based computing technical
conference.
=20
I've been busily working on this idea for several months now. I've talked to
a lot of you offline about it, and to vendors, hotels, and management
companies. I live in Washington DC, and we've even brought this idea to the
Fairfax County Economic Development Authority. Fairfax county is the home of
"Silicon Alley" which is the DC-area home to many huge tech companies. (They
love the idea, BTW.)
=20
So, here's what I'm thinking. I have a meeting with the FCEDA on Friday, and
I'd like to get your opinions on stuff:

Independent Server-Based Computing Tech Conference, Washington DC, April
2005
