I thought iForum was great this year! The technical sessions I attended were
excellent, although I was only able to make a limited number due to business
meetings, etc. One of our clients presented in the HealthCare session and it
was well received.
 
I didn't mind the walk within Mandaly Bay, it was good exercise. Seeeing
Sumo wrestlers everwhere was a total blast! I brought my wife and she got to
enjoy it being in Vegas, I was pretty busy the whole time. Orlando is a real
pain for people out west, especially because I also attend Summmit, which by
the way, is where I focus on technical sessions....

I thought it was great to have it in Vegas. Granted, there were plenty of
distractions, but even though I stayed at Mandelay Bay, I didn't find time
to play poker until Monday night. The walk was long from the room to the
conference, but it wasn't unreasonable. The price of the Internet access in
the rooms was definitely ridiculous, but they gouge you on everything as a
rule of thumb anyway, so I wasn't surprised. I used the wi-fi at the
conference to avoid the expense. I definitely hope they have it in Vegas
more often.

iForum 06 is in Orlando

iForum 07 is back in Vegas

 

food:  amazing variety and flavor but I echo the gripe on hotel staff
guarding the food and forcing you elsewhere.hey buddy.if you have a pot of
coffee and it's 7:30 AM, and it's Vegas, and I'm from the East Coast, and
I'm awake...PLEASE do not tell me to go across the conference hall to use a
different pot of coffee.WHAT?  Is your coffee too good for me?  But I
digress.

 

sessions:  less end user speeches.I concur with a previous point where
people go.here's what we have and we love Citrix. I don't get a lot out of
that.  I'd like to see more Citrix engineers talk about the guts of the
product line.what it is, how it works, how they recommend implementation

 

final night party:  I stood at the bar, had whiskey and coke all night.don't
remember much else 

 

hotel:  Mandalay Bay was great.  Rooms were very nice compared to the
"crypt-like" rooms in the Luxor.MAN, those rooms were horrible.very small
and dark.

 

Distractions?  What distractions?

 

See you all at BriForum 06.
