Informix User Forum 2006 - Call For Presentations
Informix User Forum 2006 A Two-Day User Group Technical Conference December 8-9, 2006 Washington DC, USA The Washington Area Informix User Group (WAIUG) and the Southeast Informix Users Group (SEIUG), based in Atlanta, GA, are teaming up to present Informix and DB2 User Forum 2006, the premiere Informix and DB2 regional user group technical conference in the eastern U.S. The Informix User Forum, previously sponsored biennially by WAIUG, has long had a reputation for excellence in both value and technical content. Now, the two groups have joined forces to evolve the Forum into an annual two-day conference. This year's event will be held December 8-9 in Washington DC. Forum 2006 promises to provide even more technical content, plus opportunities to network with fellow users and access to information on the latest vendor offerings. This, combined with a registration fee of US$ 120.00 (pre-register for $80) for the entire conference, makes the value of this event hard to beat. Call For Presentations We are currently accepting presentation abstracts for the Forum on Informix and DB2 related topics in any of the areas listed below. Subjects related to all current DB2, Informix and Informix-heritage products are welcome, as well as products that operate in those environments such as other IBM products, plus third party, Open Source and cross-platform products. Presenters will receive a complimentary all-conference pass. The Forum will be organized into three general subject areas or tracks that will run concurrently. The Application Development track will cover such topics as application development tools and methodologies, application and database architecture, and maximizing application and SQL performance as well as aspects of Informix that provide a distinct edge in application development and processing such as emerging technologies like XML and Web services, operation in cross-platform and heterogeneous environments, and support for Open Source and third-party tools.. The Database Engines and Administration track will feature sessions on topics including database and data warehouse design and administration, performance tuning, backup and restore, and security. The DB2 track will feature sessions on topics including database and data warehouse design and administration, performance tuning, backup and restore, and security. Tracks will feature extended session lengths of 70 minutes, which conference goers have said they prefer.

Futility is Utility. > What shall I speak on? > Talk about your life. Talk about a day-in-the-life of David, and how you use Informix, and what it has done for your employer, and of course how it has helped your career. Maybe you can shed some light on how it has made a difference in other businesses in your region and how they too are benefiting from Informix. Talk about your development efforts with the tools. It could be quite enlightening. Be careful not to divulge confidential information--of course, but do give some solid facts that are relevant to the audience and what they would like to hear about. After your talk, get your hands on a hookah, smoke a really big bowl, then, take a couple of shots of whiskey. Go invite a couple of the girls from the convention, and take them on the town, club hopping, and really paint the town red. Then you can write about it on your blog, getting even more mileage out of it. Bring a camera, it should be quite fun. :-)
