CMG'09 is getting closer and closer. And yet there's still time to register! There is an excellent and diverse program waiting for you in Dallas, and it's an opportunity you should not miss.
Those of you in Texas- especially in the Dallas area - should be very interested in attending CMG'09 at the Gaylord Texan Hotel in Dallas. In these days of tight budgets, CMG could be a real bargain for your companies. First of all, consider this: no airfare! Second, there could be no hotel expense if you're close enough to Dallas.
Did you know that you can register for one day or two days? You don't have to register for the entire week. That's another saving. All you need to do is take a look at the online agenda (http://www.cmg.org/cgi-bin/agenda_2009.pl). Pick the day or days that have the most value for you, then register for them at https://www.cmg.org/ssl-bin/registrar.pl?action=registration. It's that simple. Of course, we'd like to see you for the entire week, but we understand about budgets and your own workloads. Thus the one and two day registrations are an excellent alternative.
You'll find sessions of interest no matter what platform you're supporting. Cloud Computing, capacity planning, virtualization, tuning, load testing, UNIX/Linux, Windows, storage, z/OS and many other subjects will be discussed at CMG'09. You'll meet and interact with well-known experts as well as people who face the same daily issues as you do.
Whether you attend CMG'09 for one day, two days, or the entire week, it will be your top learning opportunity of the year. Come to the Gaylord Texan and expand your horizons with us. This is the conference to attend in 2009!
