Subject: [tech-cord] Interop
Techies,
It's the middle of January
already and its time to prepare for Interop. Last year, 6-8 people made
the trip and I think all thought it was worthwhile. It is the best
networking show around and it is very affordable, approx. $300 for flight and
hotel. Those of us who took a bump in Phoenix made the trip for
free!!
The show is May 6-10 this year
and the exhibition hall is open again from Tuesday through Thursday. The
tentative plan is to fly out of Omaha on Monday and return to Omaha on
Friday. That will give us 3 full days on the convention floor, which is
about right. We have stayed at the Hilton and Riviera before and last
year several suggested that we stay at the Excalibar. There are Shuttle
buses running from all of the major hotels to the convention center. I
am getting prices on staying at all three places.
Each year I have saved the
school district much more than the cost of the trip. You find what's new
instead of buying old technology and not knowing it.
If you're interested, give me
a reply and I will be sure that you get the information as soon as I get
it. I won't clutter up the list-serv anymore than with this email so, if
you're interested in getting the info or have any questions, let me
know.
George
PS I thought about waiting until we have a
blizzard to put this out but I can't wait
anymore.
