I am a developer based in the UK and may have the chance to attend one of the above. Can someone give me some advice/guidance on which one i should choose and why?

Consider the following

1) I am a developer and technical evangelist, I'm currently developing in ASP.NET 2.0 (Beta 1), have worked with Tablets, Mobile Devices, Web Services, Windows forms and a Longhorn Prototype. I love .NET. I don't need basic sessions, more the advanced or really new stuff.

2) I've been to LA and Orlando, much as i like them both i am going purely for the conference..

Has anyone been to both? - how do they compare?, what %age of the sessions are given by Microsoft Employees, what happens in the evenings, can you 'chat' with the experts.

Thanks

Is there any MS people who can pass on some tips about 'managing' your inbox?

Thanks

If you were only able to attend either TECHED USA or PDC. which one would you pick and why?. Has anyone done both and how do they compare?

Richard Costall (MCSD, MCAD, MCSD.NET) I have over 17 years development experience and work for 1st Software, the UK's leading software solution for Financial Adviser and Intermediaries, designing and implementing IFA applications in the financial services sector. Although mainly specializing in VB, XML/XSLT, COM, ASP and MSMQ, i turned my attention to the world of .Net. When Beta 1 first appeared i became one of the 1st 100 MCSD.NET's in the World. 

I am also the Midlands regional coordinator for VBUG (Visual Basic User Group) and spend a fair amount of my time organizing and presenting at meetings.

I have recently developed Tablet applications, Pocket PC, windows forms, ASP.NET and even a longhorn 'Concept of tomorrow'.

When not in .Net Evangelist land, I enjoy relaxing at home with my wife and two sons or ultimately jetting off to Walt Disney World, Florida, for a trip on the Tower of Terror.

Are we human? (i.e. cannot fly)
