  Three quick things for all of you that have registered for POSSCON 2009:

1.  On behalf of the Conference Committee, *thank you very much* for
registering and for your attendance.  We've tried to bring to you the best
speakers and open source information we possibly can.  We sincerely hope you
enjoy the conference and find it well worth your time.

2.  Please invite friends and colleagues to join you at the conference.  *T=
he
deadline to register is close-of-business THIS THURSDAY, APRIL 16.*  On-line
registration can be done at www.posscon.org

3.  If you can't make it to the conference, please let us know immediately.
We have limited seating and *a lot* of people registered.  We also need an
accurate count for lunches, etc.



In addition to the above, please keep a few things in mind as you plan to
join us in Columbia:

1.  The conference will take place in the same location as last year - Amoco
Hall in the Swearingen Engineering Center on USC's campus.  The address is
300 Main Street, Columbia, SC.  Signs will be posted around the building to
help you to the event site.

2.  Parking will be available around the Swearingen Center in metered and
other spaces.  Since it is Saturday, feeding meters will not be required.

3.  Registration begins at 9 am and will run until 10 am.  We encourage you
to get there as early as possible, check in, and enjoy coffee/drinks and
breakfast pastries as you network.

4.  As you check in at the front table, you will be issued a name badge and
a conference program.

5.  The conference itself will begin promptly at 10 AM with a Welcome,
Introductions, and the Keynote Address.  *If at all possible, please try to
be registered and in your seat by 10 am.*
**
6.  The conference is FREE and lunch will be provided.  We've tried to make
it possible for everyone to attend.

7.  Wireless internet access will be available in and around Amoco Hall.
Feel free to bring a laptop.

8.  We want and are encouraging as many people as possible to attend.
Please take a minute and invite a friend or colleague to join you.  There is
no marketing tactic in the world more powerful than an endorsement from
someone you trust, and we realize this.  In addition, what better way to
spend a Saturday??

9.  Please note there are two distinct tracks this year - one for
business-oriented attendees and one for developers/programmers.  We've tried
to expand our focus a little and make it appealing to everyone.


If you have any questions this week as we get closer to the event, please
contact us directly at (803) 240-1213.  We want you to leave USC's campus
feeling like you got something out of the experience.

*Also, please follow us on Twitter @ POSSCON.  *

Thanks again for registering for POSSCON 2009!
