It will be the best $3000.00 you ever spent if you do SCCM and/or SCOM. This is not a management level conference. This conference is very technical. Session submitted are 300 or 400 level sessions. John Marcum | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jmarcum/|

I am a consultant, working with a variety of MS products - mostly ConfigMgr and OpsMgr. I have never been to MMS but have heard great things. I brought it up to my company recently that I should probably attend this year. Obviously, it is pretty expensive, so they asked me to justify the cost. Since I have never been, this is difficult for me to do. Can some veterans of MMS justify for me the benefits of MMS? Did you truly find it worth the cost? What aspects were most beneficial and why? Thanks! xtiyu32n

I am in full agreement with John and Sherry. MMS is without question the best use of training $$$ for anything in the Microsoft management stack. I am currently writing an email to the IT director at a client to convince him to send his ConfigMgr admin to MMS. I have been six years straight and plan to go again this year!
