SHARE's website is misleading at best, when it comes to TSM content.  It is
a wonderful place to meet the developers, and other TSM users.  SHARE is also
the place to put in product requirements and actually get feedback.

After being involved with SHARE for over 15 years, and seeing WDSF/ADSM/ITSM
content grow, I would vouch for it being the premier TSM conference for the
US.  Take a look at the conference agenda for more information about the
content as opposed to using the initial web page as a starting place.  Most
all of the TSM sessions I have attended have been OS independent.

We (SHARE) are always looking for speakers with user experiences as well.

Held twice a year, being volunteer run, and a good bargin as well, you really
can't beat it.

IMHO
