I was just reading through Bob’s blog post from today and wanted to give a rebuttal of sorts. In summary, Bob tells us that’s he’s going to be at Cisco Live US in San Francisco this year but he won’t be attending any sessions. He’s going with the Social Event pass this year, which is actually a great, great way to attend the conference. I know several people who are thinking about scaling back to the Social Event pass as well, and there’s nothing wrong with doing it like that. It does, however, have some shortcomings that I feel are important.
