IIUG Conference topic survey

As you have probably heard by now, the International Informix Users Group will host the 2008 IIUG Informix Conference April 27-30 of next year. In case you missed it, Stuart Litel's announcement that appeared in the _IIUG_Insider_ is included below. To help us structure the conference technical sessions to benefit the greatest number of Informix users, we have created a one-page topic survey on the conference Web site, http://www.iiug.org/conf/2008/iiug/index.php . Please take a few minutes to fill out the survey to let us know the technical topics you'd like to see covered at the conference. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact me or use the contact page on the Web site. Thanks for your help, Walt. Stuart Litel's announcement from the June, 2007, IIUG Insider: The International Informix Users Group has signed a contract to hold the 2008 Users Conference at the Overland Park Marriott. Overland Park is a suburb of Kansas City, Missouri and the hotel is just down the street from the IBM Development Lab in Lenexa, Kansas, home of most of the Informix Development and Support Staff. The event will be a three full day event packed with at least four tracks of all Informix sessions and a day of tutorials leading up to the event. The full conference price will be around the $500 price tag for early registration and around $200 for the tutorials on the Sunday prior to the event. The team selected to run the conference from the International Informix Users Group will be made up of the best possible IIUG members around. Leading the team will be Cindy Lichtenauer, IIUG Board member and coordinator of the past three IIUG/IDUG events, Walt Hultgren, founder and first president of the IIUG and past winner of the IIUG Directors Award, and James Edmiston, past IIUG Board Member, past winner of the IIUG Directors Award, member of the committee for the IIUG/IDUG conference for the past two years and of the Washington DC forum committee for a number of past years. Working with these team leaders will be Kernoal Stephens, IIUG Board Member who worked on the committee for the IIUG/IDUG conference for the past two years, Tammy Frankforter, who worked on the committee for the IIUG/IDUG conference for the past two years, John Carlson, winner of the Best Speaker Award for the 2006 IIUG/IDUG Conference, Tom Beebe, who worked on the past few Washington DC Forums committees and System Administrator of the IIUG.ORG server, and Bruce Simms, long time IIUG member and head of the St. Louis, MO Local Informix User Group. As we announced to the IIUG membership last month, the IIUG will no longer be doing a joint user conference with IDUG. We wish our friends at IDUG the very best, but the time has come to do our own event. We will be working closely with IBM and the user community to select the best speakers in the world, including key IBM executives as keynote speakers. ### -- Walt Hultgren Program Chair, 2008 IIUG Informix Conference Mailto:walt@iiug.org -- HTTP://www.iiug.org/
