There will have to be a code yes. I have spent 5.5 years dealing with the hotels and contracts and the answer to your suggestion is: not necessary other than ensuring that the room block can only be booked by conference attendees. Could be important if you don't want another company staying there and slipping paper under everyone's door (like in 2001).
BMC will do what BMC does, and we need to be pragmatic. Some changes will be because it makes sense for a big corporation, some will be because the conference covers the entire product line, and some changes I am sure will be for the better. In the end, we just want to ensure that the core sessions that the BMC Remedy world needs are there. Resistance is futile. So, let's set aside comparisons until after the event. Let's help BMC go in the right direction for a great BMC User Event 2014, to be named something more interesting sometime soonish we are told.

BSUG14? I don't think they can get you the codes directly - they must be using some sort of a tracking cookie to ensure that those rooms are booked by conference participants so the hotel could track that they were used in the right context. They probably then use that information to track their financial information related to the conference - in much the same way as when you buy an air ticket from lets say from lets say United even though you found that fare on Kayak. You do not see that same fare available on United if you searched United directly. That's only my guess.

BSUG14? Out of curiosity, I contacted the Swan/Dolphin hotels. BMC has a block of rooms at the Dolphin from 10/11 to 10/19 (this is from the reservation agent). The catch is that you HAVE to reserve your room via BMC. I hate conferences that do this! Just give us the rates and let us book our rooms! BMC are you watching??? -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Blairing Sent: Thursday, October 03, 2013 2:10 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: WWRUG13 and more Folks, just a minute here between sessions to fill you in on on another big announcement that was almost lost in a flurry of Twinkie tossing at WWRUG13. We have heard that BMC will sponsor a larger scale user event at the Swan and Dolphin Resort starting October 13, 2014. The details are still to be announced but our hope is that many of the facets of the WWRUG conferences will be included. In addition to this, WWRUG will present a Closer To You conference event in late March or early April, 2014 in Bangalore, India! What better way to note that we are the World Wide Remedy Users Group than venture out to other parts of the world? The details on this are also in the very early planning stages but BMC and Unisys have agreed to be sponsors. We're still meeting in San Jose this week so things may change, but this much has been announced so far. Exciting stuff, so happy to be in San Jose! Wish you were here!
