It has come to my attention that a number of BR forum postings have not made it to the general membership.
If you post anything to the forum, watch to see if it sends you a copy of the post. If it FAILS to do so,
then please report it to me and to chris@ads.net (chris@ads.net).
NOW some of the key postings have pertained to the upcoming conference. So, risking a certain amount of
redundancy, here is some of what Susan has posted about the upcoming conference:
gordonHey all,
This is the last week to get your conference registration in! The deadline is March 26th. You need to register with the BRGroup AND book your hotel rooms right away!
I am only making conference books for people who have registered by March 26th. Please don't get left out.
The registration forms can be downloaded from here: San Antonio Conference Registration
HOTEL
We still have a few rooms left from the block of rooms that we reserved for our group, but when they are gone, you will not be able to get a room in our hotel. It is CRUCIAL that you make your reservations NOW if you want to stay with us there. There has been a little confusion booking rooms this week. The hotel has told at least one person that the hotel is full and they can't reserve a room. If this happens to you, please notify me. If you don't remember if you have booked your room, PLEASE ASK ME (or call the hotel). To book a room, call (800) 378-7946 and mention group # 2120284 (The Business Rules Group or BRG).
You won't want to miss this conference. Not only do we have a wonderful slate of presenters and topics (listed below), but it will be the annual Fiesta Week in San Antonio and our hotel is right on the Riverwalk in the middle of all the action!
The actual conference begins on Thurs 4/26 and goes through noon on Saturday 4/28.
