Tampa Florida
Not a technical problem: a UK user complained that registration for the May Informix event in Tampa cost $1,800 and asked what alternatives existed. Replies pointed to cheaper or closer options: the IBM European Information Management Technical Conference in The Hague (15-19 May), which offered a one-day Informix-only track for about EUR 465 instead of the full ~EUR 2,000 fee; the IDUG/IIUG Europe conference in Rome in October, with free registration for accepted speakers; and a planned Informix User Group Forum in Washington DC in December. Another poster urged European local user groups to organise their own low-cost events, as US groups do.

I was planning to go to the Tampa Florida event in May.. but registration is 1,800 dollars!!! No way can I afford that...so what happens next?
there is an event in the Hague and one in Rome this year. these may be a little closer to home for you
Hi David, the solution would be to organize a European event managed by LOCAL USER GROUPS
Hi David, the solution would be to organize a European event managed by LOCAL USER GROUPS . I think the Washington DC (Lester Knutsen) and Southeast Informix Users Group (Walt Hultgren) demonstrated, how local Informix User Groups can set up excellent Informix events which are a) affordable for everyone and b) offer a much better contents and atmosphere than any IBM / IDUG event I have been so far. Why can this not be done in Europe ? May be some heads of IUG groups (UK, Germany, Italy...) read this e-mail and start showing some joint activities in Europe. I would definitely be interested to help in setting up this event.
