I still feel, Microsoft gives a step motherly treatment to places like Philadelphia.  It does not get good speakers and we had our Key Note by Video Conferencing, while the last year, Philadelphia had SQL Server Product Manager for the Keynote address!

The speakers on the other hand, also were not so conducive.  Though the event commended a full hall to begin with, when it all ended, the hall was only half full …!  I am sure, if Microsoft were to give some importance to this good old ex Capital City, its products would be driving good!

It is also interesting to note that big players like Cigna and the like are housed in and around Philadelphia.  Let us see what holds up in the future!!!
