RE: COMMON Virtual Conference

I'll be there. I'm trying to decide which badge I should wear. Right now,
it's a tossup between Roberto Duran, Blue Cross, and Bob Cozzi.

Sorry, youngsters. Only the old timers here will get the reference.

Thank you, Pete. Interesting comments. I do appreciate the restrooms, but
why not have an open bar, too?

Booth,

COMMON is using an online conference facility, where the presenters

will have their sessions captured so there are no technical connection
issues. There are two rooms, which means two simultaneous sessions per hour.
You will have a chance to ask questions, and the presenters will be
monitoring a chat area where they will reply via text to the person asking
the question. I know for my presentation, "Managing your IBM I with Director
Navigator for I", I put my email address at the front and back of the
presentation, and tell people they can send me a question if they have one
afterwards. For the expo, the attendee will be able to "enter" the expo (If
they wish), and talk and discuss with the vendors. There are even on-line
restrooms and water fountains (ha ha, only kidding you will need to provide
your own).

I am just amazed at the number of people that have registered for

this, it has exceeded my expectation by OVER 400% of the number of people I
was hoping we would get. Yes, that is 4 times the number we expected. I am
not sure if COMMON/Randy has disclosed this number yet, so I don't want to
say it, but I am amazed at how many people from all over the world have
registered.

Pete
