I was right. There are a LOT more people here then any of the past years I have attended. Oy! The Welcome Reception was insane with the amount of people. I have always heard tales of the Lotuspheres where they had two opening general sessions because of the amount of people, but this year really is looking like it. Even Ed Brill posted on his blog:
"So there's lots of people here -- in fact, we had another huge chunk of registrants at the last minute, so that there are now a LOT more people here than any of the last five.
Presumably you'll hear a number at some point, but it's enough that I advise you to get
there early for sessions you want to attend. That includes the opening general session -- it WILL overflow to the Swan Ballroom, and that's even with sending all IBMers and
product showcase vendors over there in advance."
Wow! Stay tuned true believers! I think tomorrow is going to be a BIG day.
As for the welcome reception, it was a great time! Got a chance to talk to a lot of folks and helped Bill celebrate his 40th birthday! I even got to participate in a "golden" event. Stay tuned for that one!
