Along this line. I agree, TEC should maintain its focus on Identity and should not be just another "windows" conference [1] but you can approach many other topics with an AD Focus. I mean there is only so many times you can rehash AD replication and ESE DBs. AD is not changing, in the near future, so you cannot strictly focus on AD or you will either run out of topics or redo the same sessions every year. [1] Even if TEC did broaden the focus away from AD I still wouldn't compare it "TechMentor" or "WinConnections" those are, IMO, a completely different target.
