Does anyone know where MEC is this year? Anyone, anyone?

Of course if lots of people are canceling, that just means more beer and
fish tacos for Andy.

I got that as well. My boss called to cancel his registration yesterday as
he was not willing to fly down there after recent events. They told him they
would be releasing an email yesterday as a large number of people have been
canceling . . . just curious if someone had an inside scoop or heard
anything yet . . .

Yes.  Still on.
Here is what I got from them:
September 11 was a day of shock and sadness for people around the world.
Our hearts go out to all those who have been affected by this terrible
tragedy.

As you know, President Bush and other global and national leaders urged
that the business and economic activities of this nation and the global
economy must continue, even as we all work together to address the
terrible human costs of the September 11th tragedy.  The reopening of
the financial markets is just one step in resuming the economic
activities of our nation.  After long consideration, we have decided to
move forward with the MEC 2001 in Orlando, Florida, on September 30th
through October 4th as scheduled.

Based on input from travel industry and government officials, we
strongly believe that national and international air transportation,
hotels and other support services will be fully operational before the
MEC 2001 conference opens.  All MEC 2001 keynotes, sessions, functions
and special events will take place as scheduled.  We are working closely
with state and local authorities to ensure every possible security
measure is in place.

All of us at Microsoft are keeping the victims of this tragedy in our
thoughts and prayers. We hope to see you in Orlando as we carry on our
lives full of pride in our values and our country.

Sincerely,
The MEC 2001 Team

Thank you,
