I hope that this is the right forum for my question.
I am considering attending Macworld Expo SF 2005, and register the Users Conference Program for $200. I attended the exhibitions a couple times, but not the conference or keynote speech. I live in SF bay area, so travel cost is nil.
However, my partner thinks it is stupid to spend $200 to listen to someone's speech. He is not as crazy about Steve or Apple's products as I do.
I like to hear everyone who attended the conference before (not just Exhibition parts) to tell me their experience on the conference. Is it worthy?
Though I am a techie (independent consultant) currently working on my first Mac project, I don't want to spend too much money out of my pocket on attending conferences yet. So, I decide to choose between Users Conference Program or Exhibition only.
Thoughts and comments?
