Informix User Forum 2005 - - 5 days left for Registration

Informix User Forum 2005 Moving Forward With Informix A Two-Day User Group Technical Conference December 8-9 in Atlanta, GA I have been putting together the Washington Area Informix Users Group (WAIUG) Forums since 1994 and this event promises to be our best one ever. We have teamed up with the Southeast Informix Users Group (SEIUG), based in Atlanta, GA, to present Informix User Forum 2005, the premiere Informix user group technical conference in 2005. I attended and presented at the IDUG/IIUG conference in May and the IBM Data Management conference in September, and I am more excited about Forum 2005 in Atlanta. It will have the most to offer the Informix User community. Forum 2005 will be the largest gathering of Informix users in the world in 2005, and will include 2 days of: ? Keynote presentations by IBM executives Paul Rivot, IBM's director of database servers and business intelligence Bruce Weed, WorldWide Program Manager for Informix ? More Informix sponsors and exhibitors (14) than any other event this year ? 32 top presentations for Informix users (we have picked the best from the past year) ? One awesome party Thursday night (food, drink, high tech games, and fun) Forum 2005 will be the lowest cost conference of the year, $90.00 for registration. We anticipate that for $500-600 you could fly to Atlanta, pay for your hotel, and attend the Forum. We are limited to 200 people that can be accommodated, and we expect it to fill up fast. Registration deadline is December 2, 2005. All participants must pre-register.
