MCUG Forum 2010
MCUG Forum 2010 Deferred
NEW DATES TO BE ANNOUNCED
Due to changing circumstances we have been forced to defer the MCUG Forum 2010 which was to have been on the 13th and 14th May. I am sorry about this. A new date and venue will be announced shortly. It is expected that the programme and speakers will be substantially as that published, subject of course to speaker availability, and also with the addition of items/speakers that were not available on the original dates.
The decision was taken despite considerable efforts from Rose, our Event Manager, to resolve challenges and square a circle which included issues with programme promotion timescales, venue costs, & availability of sponsor/exhibitors. All this had to be set against prudent management of the User Group’s limited resources.
The programme and speaker panel remain excellent, representing the broad range of cross-discipline topics the MCUG is noted for. You may imagine that this has been very frustrating for us in the MCUG secretariat. The deferred programme is at http://www.mcug.org.uk/pdf/MCUG_Forum2010_Programme_Deferred.pdf for your reference. Clearly any new arrangement will need timings rearranged to suit all, and of course you to re-confirm availability..
We will almost certainly re-locate to a simpler venue, probably the lecture facilities in one of our larger members/partners corporate offices, or those from one of the regional agencies which are being offered. Our Media partners are being very supportive in this. We will re-confirm the date and programme as soon as possible.
Please can I ask you to check that you have not booked accommodation personally at the Ramada.
