I'll wait for the agenda and hope they extend the early bird rate. I can see it now. ME: Hi Mr. Director, please spend thousands of dollars for me to be gone for almost a week for a conference where we have no idea what the content is. There is an early bird discount!!! DIR: Come back when you have an agenda and a firm grasp on what you sessions are going to attend AND how much you are going to spend. ME: Big Sigh.

So, if the agenda is out today or tomorrow, that is just "under the wire". However, I had to make a call last week, so I registered and paid for the conference with the understanding that I could de-register up to a certain date with a $75.00 "admin" fee. Well, we'll see about that. :-) Terry _____ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Lynn Larsen Sent: July-28-14 5:03 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: ENGAGE ** I'm glad I'm not alone in the trying to get approval for a conference that we have no idea what the content is. There should not be "early bird" pricing that expires before the detailed agenda is even published, in my opinion.

We are adults. We should be able to make our own reservations. If the conference is more "sales" than technical, there is no way I can get approval. I'll be disappointed if they go back to the way it was before it became WWRUG!

Let's just hope they don't completely miss the mark on this conference.
