Unfortunately, I'm sure the difference is the $99 a
person that the attendees are paying in the United
States. It is unfortunate that they did not have the
same offer at the Israeli DevDays, however. I will pass
your feedback on to the folks that are responsible for
your subsidiary.
I think MS Israel prefer to concentrate on the major
events such as TechEd Israel - I missed the last one (as
you know) but in 2002 they brought in David Chappel for
the keynote and a few additional experts from Europe for
the sessions... It rocked. DevDays is pocket change
compared to that :)
