This year the ACMUG conference is being held in Halifax so there are
some things that need to be attended to in order to have a Great &
rewarding time.

1)      If you are traveling and planning to stay overnight in
Halifax, then you will need to book your room. ACMUG has reserved 50
rooms at the Lord Nelson Hotel on Spring Garden Road, however there is
a deadline of April 30 to reserve these rooms. So do this now by
calling the Hotel at 902-423-6311.

2)      Next you have to register for the conference. This can be done

3)      There is a pre conference training session featuring the IBM
eServer iSeries : "How to cut your costs" & " Logical Partitioning
with iSeries". If this is of interest to you then call Louanne
Corriveau at IBM 416-383-3473 to reserve a seat. Additional

4)      Cost is always a factor so to ease your minds and pocket
books, the ACMUG registration fees are only $220 / person for the 2

always enjoying a night on the town!

Have you ever been to sea Billy? No but I've been to Halifax.  For
those of you who haven't been to Halifax, let me give you a taste of
Nova Scotia's Capital city. Halifax cleverly blends the past with the
present to produce a skyline dotted with elegant 18th & 19th century
architecture alongside ultra modern towers of glass & steel. The heart
of Halifax is perfect for exploring on foot , with tree lined streets,
international restaurants, galleries, libraries and museums. Inviting
sidewalk cafes beckon you to while away a few hours amid park like ,
waterfront and historic settings in the busy downtown, with the
backdrop of the Halifax harbour , one of the best deepwater, ice free
ports in the world.
