I'm just thinking that a day at Miller Park, food, fun, yada, yada, might be worth dealing with it. -
I have been using CCB for years.
They are a great VAR.
Their Tech Showcase is not any different than any other vendor conference.
This year will be the first year that I will attend.

The sponsors for that conference. . . only a few are worth their weight.
But GoodWill as a tech sponsor?!

Goodwill has a tech store nestled in Tyler Texas where they sell switches, computers, and other equipment.

But they aren't a tech company. They sell used items. lol

That is a pretty run of the mill list of vendors, minus GoodWill.
That said CCB was founded as a company that sold MS licensing to Non-Profits. Their name used to be Consistent Computer Bargains.
It is only the last 5ish years that they have changed to a full flegged VAR for the masses.

Similar to TechSoup or different?

TechSoup is a non-profit. CCB is not. But CCB helped start the entire non-profit pricing program from MS.

Sounds like there needs to be an ML meetup.

Half hour for me. This will be the 2nd year I'll attend. I usually just go for the food
I did get some really good info and help from Veeam and SonicWall last year. Everyone else was kind of sales oriented.

Right. It is a vendor driven day, so that is totally to be expected.
