Kinda odd how MSFT is messing about with the PDC brand just when they need to establish a reason for people to continue to pay attention.
For 20 years PDC meant an every 2-3 year event full of broad content and equally important, significant networking. The focus changed as the industry changed, but the PDC remained important.
Now it is annual (3 years in a row now), down to 2 days from 4(plus a pre-con), narrowly focused, with a 1000 developer limit and in Redmond? Seems designed to be cheap for MSFT, yet annual to try for revenue.
Thinking this sends a confirming message about Microsoft's decline.
