DCI Data Warehousing Conference, anyone?

Hi all, I could probably have found a more appropriate newsgroup for this, but I had to come back to the old gang I know and trust :-) Does anyone know anything about the DCI Business Intelligence & Data Warehousing Conference in Boston next week? Anyone who's gone in the past and can tell me about it? In particular, how well attended (exhibitor-wise) is it? We are about to start the process of evaluating BI & ETL tools for our in-house data warehouse, and I'm considering going to it so I can get the firehose method of vendor exposure, but their webpage doesn't list very many exhibitors. I don't know how complete the list on the webpage is. I'd appreciate any input anyone has about this conference. Thanks! For any of you old-timers out there who are wondering, I am now building the internal data warehouse at salesforce.com, and learning Oracle PL/SQL. sigh. What's even more scary is that after using SQL*Server for a few years, Oracle starts to look like a real database, even though I know better. June
