* * * Announcing * * * The Second Annual Sun User Group Southwest Regional Technical Conference Monday, October 9th, 1989 Albuquerque Convention Center Albuquerque, New Mexico Hosted this year by the Central New Mexico Sun Local User Group (last year it was hosted by the Los Alamos SLUG), this one-day conference will feature a keynote speaker from Sun Microsystems, user application talks, and a Sun Developers' Panel session, as well as presentations by 3rd-party software and hardware vendors of products which run on or with Sun computers. Also, Sun Microsystems will be hosting a "listening booth," similar to the one it had at the national conference in Miami last year, where attendees may air their gripes, complaints, complements, suggestions, or just random thoughts to representatives from Sun. In addition, the Annual Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta will be held October 7th through the 14th, allowing conference attendees arriving on Friday, the 6th, the opportunity to witness the mass ascensions which kick off the fiesta Saturday and Sunday mornings before going to the conference on Monday. Or, stay through the week after the conference, take in the daily ballooning events, and watch the mass ascensions the next weekend (or both!). Registration is a paltry $20.00 for SUG members, $50.00 for non-members ($20.00 registration fee, and $30.00 SUG membership fee). A registration form is below, which you can print, fill out, and send in with your payment, or you can just E-mail the requested information using a Visa or Mastercard number. Travel arrangements may be made through Rosenbluth Travel. All attendees are offered a discounted room rate of $85 per night at the Albuquerque DoubleTree Hotel if arrangements are made through Rosenbluth. Call 1-800-222-1035 (ask for Fernanda or Gerri, and be sure to tell them that you're going to the SUG Conference). * * * * NOTE: The room block reserved for the conference is limited, and all hotel rooms, rental cars, etc., in Albuquerque will sell out quickly due to the Balloon Fiesta, SO MAKE YOUR ARRANGEMENTS *EARLY*! * * * * All interested Sun users are invited, so plan on taking a long weekend in October to come to Albuquerque for the Regional User Group Conference, and maybe take in the Balloon Fiesta as well.
