Thanks, Dan. Would you consider extending the early bird registration deadline until sometime after the site is set? Some might have to combine them on their travel request, and some might base their decision on the venue selected.

Hi Rick, Good questions, glad you asked, I'll answer them here and as we finalize details they will appear on the web site (so I guess I have to add some of these answers there somewhere) 1) Everything mentioned is included tutorials, sessions, vendor fair, evening events etc. We made a concious decision to keep it simple with one fee for everything, and no additional cost events. In the current economic climate we thought the value had to be clear, and I believe when you look at what we put together it is. Up to 3 hour long tutorials on specific current areas related to ARSystem7.5, and one hour sessions that will be on various topics and as technical as you want to get 2) A venue should be decided by the end of May if not sooner. We have a short list and will be on site in a couple of weeks to check them out in person. Their porposals certainly reflect the current economy. 3) Yes there will be special conference rates, quite reasonable but since we have a short list of venues, I can't be specific yet 4) The Sessions will have a variety of people, Phil Bautista should open the call for papers soon. We are finalizing the concept of a Vendor Track for vendor specific presentations by the vendors. Phil should respond to detailed questions about the Sessions. Tutorials will be taught by Lenny Warren and others, and Lenny should respond with details on them. Longer tutorials will be in the mornings, One hour Sessions in the afternoons 5) As mentioned, we will have a Vendor track The current tentative schedule and list of tutorials is available on the web site, and you can go via www.wwrug.com to get directly to the registration page. There is a link on the left hand side to get to the documents. Hope to see you all in Las Vegas! .....

(i.e. teaching sessions) I will remind people of this event at our local RUG on Monday. _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor:rmisoluti...@verizon.net ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
