I'll be going to the Microsoft World Wide Partner Conference this year in Houston. Space is always limited at these events so if you are considering going I recommend you sign up now! I'm hoping to spend some quality time in the sessions this year (last year in Denver was back to back meetings). I'm keen to learn more about some of the business models Microsoft partners are using today and hope to adopt in the future (especially with respect to Software as a Service). I also have no plans to attend any other conference this year. With the heir being so young I've placed a lower priority on business travel. At this stage my schedule is wide open (I'm yet to finalize any speaking engagements). Closer to the date (ie. in June) I'd be happy to accept meeting requests from any customers and partners who are also attending.
