Business casual dress code. Crackberry T-shirts optional.

Shorts... ha! Nobody wears shorts these days. It's uncool.

A lot of things are different this year. The showcase is in a different room entirely. I'd draw a floor plan but I'm lazy.

Hmmmm. If its a different room, we might need to rethink the BBF rally point. If I only had a map of the room.......

Hey I'm up for a bit of that this year - I know I didn't really hang out with you guys much last year but times are a changing...

Darth let me know when/where, but I'm gonna pass on the parks as it's just not my bag baby?

Ya, I'll be in on getting together during the even too. I'm always looking for people to drink with. Drinking alone is no fun.

Sounds like Jon needs to show a little energy today and get a map out.

As long as we don't have to run for 15 minutes in the rain again. Although, watching you remove the battery and pour water out of your BlackBerry was priceless!

Rally point should be in the same area where we had our initial meetup in the Showcase Solution. If the room layout changes, I'll post a location update.

Absolutely you can join us! Don't know if Kevin Crackberry will be around much or if the WICKSoft Boys can leave their booth; we'll need another Canadian to talk "aboot."

Yep yep.

I have a good idea of where you could use for a new BBF rally point - unfortunately I can't really tell ya for a few more days ;p

Hey Folks I've been gone for awhile... switched jobs last August just before I got married. New company had a small # of folks with Blackberry's but no server just running individual BIS. Picked up a new blackberry almost immediately but had to wait on bringing a BES inhouse til the new budget year. Then RIM went and launched the new small business BPS which was perfect for the amt of Blackberry use in this firm. I'm all signed up and ready to go to WES. Hopefully RIM will support the BPS with service pack rollouts as often as they do full blown BES service packs.

hai kerry!

Looks like i'm going also this year.... wonder how it will be. We are staying in Buena Vista hotel, which kinda sucks - last year i was in Marriot :-/

Oh, tis not a problem. We've got plenty of time to figure things out.

Aaaagghh!

We only have 2 weeks, 6 days, 10 hours, 37 min, 40 sec... 39... 38...

Here's a WES Newbie question....are there alot of handouts?
printed material, booklets/papers etc. @ the sessions
Is some kind of portfolio necessary to carry everything?

There are a lot of handouts - When you sign in RIM usually gives you a bag of some sorts to hold all the stuff in.

It's like Halloween for BlackBerry users. One of the major sponsors usually give out a bag chock full o' swag. Comes in handy when you're "trick or treating" in the Solutions Showcase and getting printed material and freebies.

The Idokorro (now Rove) beanbag gets used daily... thanks to Alan!

Glad I could assist, Darth. Now, if only this year, Boxtone will handout some good swag. Hmm, wonder what the BBF crew will leave with from the carrier parties this year. We made out like bandits at the Verizon party.

How many of you are going to and/or have been to the Government day sessions in the past (if it was offered)? I received an invite to those sessions on Tuesday, but am curious if anyone found them worthwhile.
