When I first started attending TEC it was DEC and its core focus was around Active Directory and Identity - which was great as there was nothing else out there in that space. Moving forward 5 years and I now find TEC becoming less focused on Active Directory and Identity and more generalised in the Windows space and for me I now find it hard to justify attending TEC, over say TechED, Techmentor or WinConnections. I would personally like to see TEC go back to its roots and focus primarily on the Directory space as that's why I originally started to attend. But in response to your question, no I probably would not attend the session because VDI is not relevant to what I do.

The debate centers around whether VDI is a relevant or interesting topic for the TEC directory and identity audience. One side of the debate: The session isn't relevant because AD and identity engineers/architects aren't generally tasked with virtualization projects, and if they are, they are generally server and DC virtualization projects. Desktop projects don't usually land on the AD/Identity guys lap. The other side of the debate: AD and identity engineers/architects are becoming multi-roled in light of today's economics, and given virtualization's huge traction, VDI would be an interesting and relevant topic to the TEC directory and identity attendees. My questions to you: Would you be interested in attending a VDI session at TEC? See you in LA. -gil
