I, for one, was happy with our 30 minutes since it was not on the usual Friday morning :-) But more seriously, I will just echo Joachim's email (since we talked about this subject for a length of time before he sent it, I saw no surprises there). 30 minutes is sufficient to give an overview of product status. If there is something of particular interest (and more depth) that a vendor has to say, they can submit other presentation proposals on those specific topics.

all the vendors were given the same amount of time. And there are a lot of talk about their platforms in the program.

Just my humble thoughts...
I watched the talks from Cincom and Instantiations , and was somewhat surprised of the very short time they were given. They are sponsors of the event, and should imho get more time to promote their offerings.
The talks from the vendors was biased towards existing customers, and I think that the vendors should be given a chance to promote the offerings; show their usp's, showcase their references, present licensing information, prices etc. etc.
Basically allow them to give the sales pitch, they would normally use to impress a prospect. -- Henrik Høyer, sPeople ApS Chief Software Architect (+45) 4029 2092
