Technically, wasn't it the hotel that botched 2008? And then made a miraculous recovery for some lingerie models?

Guess that makes the ARSlist the UserWorld 2009, meeting from now to the end of the year, At least for the BMC BSM/Atrium/Remedy crowd. I will let others discuss if this is a good fiscal move or not. I think the value Of the conference outweighs the costs, but I only have to pay the bill for me. In any event, or lack thereof, this means I will be doing the following: 1) Returning to the Vote for the ARSlist Awards for 2008 2) Planning for some set of events that can allow us to properly Do the ARSlist Awards 2009 and provide a method for us all to Share our discoveries of 2009. This may mean a multi-city simultaneous conference, Or setting up a virtual conference. 3) Exploring other on-line avenues to expand what the ARSlist/WWRUG can provide To replace our annual conference networking ability. The first is a FaceBook Group But if folks have other thoughts please let me know .....
