A lot of it is cost. I can remember when I was with a data comm company, and we would exhibit at the big shows in DC and Atlanta. It was very, very expensive. I dunno if that's changed, but that's the way ir was. On 10/24/06, Rebecca.Perdue@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <Rebecca.Perdue@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Why does no one ever use the Washington, DC or Atlanta area? There are also nice facilities in the Research Triangle of Raleigh.

So, it sounds like the Northeast/MidAtlantic region is prime for a new "conference city" that is affordable. Maybe I will talk to our Mayor.... Yes, COMMON at Toronto was nice and I did attend that one and drove. Same for when COMMON was in Baltimore. For me it's a 3 hour drive to any major airport (usually to one of the cities I mentioned in my first posting), if that was also the final destination it would be a lot easier to arrange and justify to my employer. I understand the economics for the conference organizers but it would be nice if all three of the ones I referenced would spread themselves out. It may be that we pick the Boston conference as our yearly destination. >>> Jon.Paris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 10/24/2006 12:09 AM >>> >> Seems like all the major iSeries conferences have forgotten about us in the Northeast ... Well COMMON was in Toronto only a year ago ... Minneapolis after that. Those are both in driving distance from most of the locations you mention. Chicago wasn't that long ago either. NY, NJ, Boston have all pretty much priced themselves out of the market and travel is too horrific for anyone locally to want to go. Same problem in some respects with conferences in LA - can't get the locals. When I was working with RPG World we ran one conference in Chicago (did OK) and more recently in Cleveland (a total bust). Whether one likes it or not, a fair percentage of likely attendees prefer to pick destination cities. That means Miami, San Diego, San Francisco, Orlando, and Vegas. There are a few others but those are where you can guarantee an audience. So if I run a conference in the Northeast and one in one of those cities - guess which one everyone will save their pennies for? Couple of other points: Vegas hotel rooms are typically cheaper than elsewhere - subsequently any difference in air fare is moot. Frankly distance is not a huge differentiator in air fares - I can quite often go from Toronto to LA for less than I can get to Chicago for example. So unless you are in driving distance, location makes very little difference to the fares. When we run the first of our new conferences next spring it will almost certainly be on the west coast, we may run one in the east in the fall - but even then there's no way NJ, NY or Boston will be on the list.

We have a corporate project to migrate our mailboxes from Exchange 2000 to Exchange 2003. Part of the migration process is a discussion over allowing anonymous relaying from the internal network. Our iSeries is configured to use the Exchange server as its relay point. If corporate decides to use a form of SMTP relay authentication, does OS400 support this natively (SMTP with MSF)? How about running our own relay/SMTP server? We're at V5R2, and most of our email is handled with Brad Stone's MAILTOOL.
