in this economy my company is not letting anyone go to any conferences. :( how is the response this year ? can some one from TSS comment ?

We’ve heard from others that it can be a challenge to get funding to attend technology conferences this year. We believe that we’ve structured our agenda to give developers the technologies and techniques that they can take back to their employers and immediately apply to today’s development projects. Our registration fee is less than similar conferences and training classes, and we think you’ll get more out of it.
