Patrick, the programme has some "candies", esp. in the technical track. But more than the topics it's the people that speak at Connect I'd like to meet. In the technical sessions I'd expect some "aha" and "wooo!" for me, but I am sure the speakers have already blogged about it or will do afterwards.
I don't want to start a general discussion about IBM's marketing strategy, esp. here in Germany, where they yield Microsoft to dominate the social business area due to stagnating efforts to go INTO the market and TOWARDS the customers etc. As there were no new products I'd expect to see presentations I've seen an estimated two or three times before.
