Finally, after a long time between drinks, IBM are conducting a significant technical event in Australia. Lemme sign up.. whoa! $3000!!! The notice for the collaboration summit doesn't have alot of meat. They don't even state the venue ? Where's the detailed session tracks ? If IBM are gonna bleed me for $3000 I would appreciate some more info considering it's only 3 months away.

I would still like to go, but only incentive stated, (5-get-1-free) doesn't really do it for me either, because it's still $15,000 for 6 people. I'm usually tight with the cash, but just to get a little perspective compare, Microsoft's Tech Ed this year is only $1749. Lotusphere this year was only $1895(USD) for the early bird and $2095(USD) for late arrivals. So for a regional event, I don't get it, what's going on ? Looks like I will be reading about this one in the blogs....
