According to Vidas Matelis' blog at SSAS-info.com, the Microsoft BI Conference for 2010 is to be held in conjunction with TechEd 2010 in New Orleans on June 7th. The Microsoft BI Conference website doesn't make any mention of this change - it still states that Seattle is intended to be the site for the (now) bi-annual shindig. The source of the news - Bruce Kyle, an ISV architect posted the news to the US ISV Dev Community Blog. The blog mentions that "demand generation" will begin in early January - so I'm assuming that emails and the website will change soon - if the information is accurate. The posting doesn't clarify if the BI conference will be at the same time as TechEd, or in the week before or after TechEd.
I'm hoping it's not - Seattle is so much easier for me to get to. If the posting ends up being accurate, I think I'll have to find some creative ways to get there...
UPDATE: Yes, it is going to be co-located with TechEd North America 2010. If you register for the BI Conference, you get access to the TechEd "BI" tracks, but can't get in to the other TechEd track sessions. Suffering that restriction to your session choices knocks $800 off the registration price.
