There's all types really.

While it is more of a marketing event than a heavy technical conference there is a good mixture of DBA's and senior developers here besides the management types and the suits.

Lots of accents and languages here with large amounts of European ( lots of german heard ) and Asian-Pacific people. Lots of English and Australian also.

I would guess that most people do have their company paying the bill ( quite pricey if not ) but there are certainly some people paying their own way. Received on Sun Oct 22 2006 - 19:15:14 CDT
