I finally got some info about the Training courses on Monday. It's going to be in the Hall of Cities in the main convention center, 9-5, with an 8am breakfast. They don't have a specific room yet, they said they will e-mail when they have room information.
At least I have a direction to go in now :P

The Hall of Cities is pretty easy to find. It's at the bottom & behind the escalator from the main lobby when you head down to the convention floor.
Main Convention Center

Hell if you need passes for something specific search me out and I'll hook you up.

I might take you up on that. I couldn't register for any of the vendor parties because I live in this weird foreign country where we like maple syrup and say "eh"

Look up JSplit in the lounge and he can direct you to Canadian based activities for our friends from the north.
You like hockey, eh?

Where in WPB? I live there now. Oh, and since this will be my first WES, can anyone tell me what quality of scotch/bourbon I might expect at the after parties?

If I remember correctly, the Verizon party last year was serving Johnny Walker, Grey Goose and Bombay Sapphire.... and that level of booze.
That's pretty good for free. Then again, I consumed a good bit of it, so i may be wrong.

Totally off topic but I'm packing up this weekend so I'm basically planning slacks / dress shirts during the day and maybe jeans / dress shirt type stuff for the night activities. So I wanted to know if there is a need for shorts / T-shirts or not? I get the feeling it's a little more upscale then laid back?

Good question. I was planning on wearing nice collared shirts, but with jeans. Too casual?
Oh, and I wouldn't refuse a JW Black. I can't imagine them handing out free single malts...

no particular dress code. norm has been the typical polo (collared shirt) and slacks/jeans/skirts/shorts.. laid back atmosphere. but you'll see the suits walking around too. keep in mind you'll be in orlando. florida gets pretty hot and humid during these months. it's about 90ish outside right now for me.

Currently in Orlando (at least at my office) it is 88, but with the heat index it feels like it is 91. Just to give y'all a heads up when packing.

Yea, I plan to be wearing shorts in the evenings likely(unless I'm at a sponsor party or something), sticking with dress pants in during the day. I'm coming from Edmonton, where we've had a cool spring, with only one day so far this year above 73F. I'm probably going to melt when I get to Orlando, I dont' want to be stuck in pants all week.

Looks like most of the week is going to be in the upper 80's, with the lows in the upper 60's. Not bad nighttime weather.
