Office Developer Conference 2008 vs. SharePoint Conference 2008
Most of you should be well aware of the SharePoint Conference 2008 taking place next March 3-6 in Seattle, WA, but I don't believe that we have done a good enough job about promoting the Office Developer Conference 2008 scheduled for February 10-13 in San Jose, CA and providing guidance on which event you should attend if you cannot go to both.
The SharePoint Conference is primarily intended for those who use, administer, deploy, and configure SharePoint. If you are a SharePoint developer or want to be one, then you should attend the Office Developer Conference instead. Although there will be some developer oriented content at the SharePoint Conference, it's the Office Developer Conference that will provide much more and much deeper developer focused content on how to develop components and solutions on top of the SharePoint platform as well as how to take advantage of the other products and technologies in the entire Office system.
I encourage you to compare the respective tracks at each conference to see and decide for yourself:
