So, now you have seen the keynotes, finally got approval, and checked out the hotel .. Oh oh.
For 5 of you it can still happen: I held five rooms for late comers from Europe, but they got rooms when the room block reopened. I can keep these until end of the day Thursday but then I will have to release them. Please don't email the list, email me at d...@wwrug.com <mailto:d...@wwrug.com> See you all next week! Dan WWRUG Advisory Board From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Doug Blair Sent: September 23, 2013 10:31 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: WWRUG13: a week to go! ** Hello ARSlisters! It's great to see so many with plans to come to San Jose for the conference, which starts in just a week at The Fairmont San Jose! I've flown into SFO and SJC numbers of times, but Oakland only once, and that was when my final destination was Pleasanton. If you're flying into SFO or OAK http://www.supershuttle.com is worth a look. There's an "exclusive van" rate for up to 9 people and if you're all arriving around the same time.... It's about time we took the wraps off some things that have been kept fairly quiet up to now (hey, it's a competitive world!). The topics for our three keynote presenters on Tuesday and Wednesday have just been announced: The Digital Services Transformation - Kia Benhia The consumption of digital information and technology is currently undergoing a drastic change. From the ubiquitous streaming of music to subscription-based office suites, we are seeing a shift from product-centric business models to ones that are more service-centric. These new service/customer-centric models are also impacting how IT organizations view and deliver services and are creating a whole new class of user-focused IT service delivery and management requirements. Kia Behnia, Sr. VP and CTO for BMC will explore and discuss during his keynote presentation this digital services revolution and how managing these services to better connect service providers to service users is now more important than ever before. Experience IT Differently - Matt J. Dircks Matt Dircks, VP and GM for BMC Service Support will share his insights on the future of IT Service Management and the need for a new, more user centric approach enabling users to experience IT differently than they have ever had before. Matt will also provide a view into the new consumerization and IT automation innovations coming from BMC today and in the future. Industrialization of IT - Doug Mueller No synopsis for this one. You'll just have to come and listen, won't you? Have you EVER been in a room with Doug Mueller and not emerged somehow enlightened? Doug's been shinning a spotlight on what we'll be doing 3, 5 or more years from now for decades. You'll find more about our keynoters and other speakers at http://wwrug13.com/keynotes.html and http://wwrug13.com/speakers.html At this point I wish I could tell you that we still have discounted hotel rooms available through the conference web site too, but The Fairmont at the conference rate is booked solid. The Fairmont is about a block from the San Jose McEnrey Convention Center, and their website has links to 65 other hotels. There is also a VTA stop by the Fairmont's back door, with light rail connects to most of the interesting places. Not that we think you'll WANT to leave the hotel, of course! Yes, there is still time to register. Visit http://wwrug13.com/registrations.html See you in San Jose! Next Week!
