To All,
Considering the cancellation of the November 2001 conference, I am considering the prospects of a March 2002 conference in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. One tentative date might be Thursday evening March 21, 2002 through Sunday Afternoon March 24, 2002 (Note: This is Palm Sunday weekend)
It may or may not be at the same location as the December 1st, 2000 conference, but if it was, we would have all the ballrooms for the entire time, cutting out the noise from adjacent functions.
You can also assume 2 or more tracks of programming most of the time (Beginner and Advanced) and most of the talks would be 2 hours or more each.
Questions I'd like to pose are,
1. Would another hotel be preferable?
2. Would another part of the country be preferable (Florida, Texas, Chicago, California for example?)? If so, it won't be me running it, but I'd be happy to confer with those stupid enough....I mean brave enough to take on the task! A well run user group could do this very well.
3. $89/night (single or double) may be the room charge. Does this deter anyone?
4. Does the date cause problems for a large number of people?
5. Any other comments/suggestions. If you'd prefer them to be private, please send them to my e-mail address above.
6. I'd also appreciate a straw count (with none of the details set) of those who would a) Definitely plan on attending, b) maybe attend c) definitely not. Please send a short email with your contact address and interest level
7. I'll be looking for real help this time (if it happens), so contact me if interested and let me know what you think you can do. I'll also be looking for local people who can help with the setup and tear-down of the conference.
