On the surface, combining these conferences may seem like a good thing. But I fear that it will be sensory overload and will be very difficult to attend or absorb all of the many tracks and sessions that you would want to attend. I will need to focus in one area and basically ignore everything else. Also, the Las Vegas location presents problems for us as it is difficult to get approvals to attend conferences at that location.
One additional observation that I just noticed--June 6-10 is in the height of high school graduation season, causing scheduling conflicts for many would-be attendees.
