I will be attending my first one this year too. I did just find out that in order to vote for sessions, you have to register first. I'm not sure how I feel about this...

Why should people not going have any say in what those of use who have *paid* to attend get to learn about / discuss / want ?

If you're already going to register, then what's the worry?

I suspect that if the voting were opened up to everyone (registered and not), we'd see massive voting fraud. And really, only the people paying to attend should have any say in the results. Someone who won't even be there shouldn't determine what presentations the rest of us get to see.

Now it's a must if I'm being called out.

This is the reasoning used when we decided to have voting for registered attendees only.

How has it changed or shifted over the years?

Friendly reminder: There is no parking at Hynes Convention Center. If you aren't staying at the Sheraton or one of the other nearby hotels, you will need to pay to park in one of the nearby garages. Expect to pay about $20 - $40 per day. It might be prudent to carpool. Here's a link to some nearby parking garages:

Also, for anyone not familiar with Boston traffic, it's really gotten a lot better over the years. These days you should only expect to go through no more than three tires and six body panels. Per day.

Whats the evening/social line up looking like? Anything planned yet? If I go I'll skip the conference stuff and just hit the social stuff in the evenings.

Good to know, thanks for the heads up!
