Bias out of the way upfront - I sincerely hope as an Oakie that MOTS
succeeds. I'm not able to go but that's my bias.
Anyway the promo video http://vimeo.com/14334121 that Mark refers to makes
the rather excellent point that MOTS costs 1/3 of the price of OpenWorld. So
if your boss has an engineering bent they'll be impressed that MOTS provides
higher quality at a 1/3rd of the price in 1/2 the time of Open World.
(Normally it's perm any two from three). I imagine it's about 1/3rd of the
price of a single training course as well and covers a much wider range of
subjects.
As a long standing User Group member I think Kellyn's remark about the
networking opportunities (or class reunion as she put it) is worth
mentioning as well. We all learn better from our peers and face to face
interaction than from webinars and the like. I don't know how well the
networking think works at OOW - large pool of people good, but too many
people might be bad.
cheers
