Three years ago my Apple sales rep talked me into going to the World Wide Developer’s Conference (WWDC). At the time I wasn’t sure if I should go or not, I mean come on, I’m not a developer. But, he assured me that I would get something out of it. Well, he was right, I got a lot out of it.
I had the opportunity to meet a lot of fellow system admins, I was able to sit in on some really cool discussions about Apple in the Enterprise, and I got to laugh my tail off at Stump the Experts (how many shirts will Mark wear this year?).
So, since I had such a great time in 2005, it was natural that I would get my company to send me in 2006, and again in 2007. Well, now I’m at a new company, and getting them to foot the $3000 (ticket, air, hotel) to go there is looking pretty bleak. Not to mention the fact that there is a doctor’s convention in town at the same time, and all of the hotels around San Francisco have upped their prices. Oh well, I guess I’ll have to settle for the play by play on Twitter or some other site.
