Nice writeup and accurate. I went to the first PASS in Chicago and this one was much better. Saw some good presentations, some average, but not that many since we were presenting and working on getting those down.
I recommend this one for DBAs since it is focused on SQL Server, no Windows, no SMS, etc. It's a nice chance to meet others, hear about their issues and get some good ideas. Also it's fairly small, so you can get to most things you want to see.
Look forward to seeing some of you readers next year.
