A new session has been added to an already packed MWLUG 2014.  The new session is entitled "Ask IBM".  If you are familiar with the "Ask a Product Manager" session at IBMConnect, you will know what this session is all about.  The difference is that you are up and front of the IBM panel almost in a one to one conversation.  This session is scheduled to be in the Imperial Room at 6:00 PM before the Exhibitor Showcase Reception that will be held in the Vandenberg Rooms.  So coming and join us and ask away.  Then continue your conversation with beer, wine, or soda and hors d'oeuvre and learn about all the great sponsors that we have at MWLUG 2014. Don't forget to register and the hotel still has rooms. http://mwlug.com/mwlug/mwlug2014.nsf/Register.xsp http://mwlug.com/mwlug/mwlug2014.nsf/Hotel.xsp

MWLUG 2014 is coming up in two weeks.  Our IBM OGS Speaker is Kramer Reeves.  He will be presenting IBM's current and future vision of IBM Collaboration Solutions including my favorite platform, Domino.  His presentation is entitled, "IBM Collaboration Solutions - Vision and Strategy for Today and the Future." So, if you want to know the future direction of IBM Collaboration and how it will impact your organization, it is important that you come to this session, OGS101. The Amway Grand Plaza Hotel has been gracious enough to extend the MWLUG 2014 hotel discount of $129.00 as long as there are rooms available.  So get registered and come to the best ICS user group conference this year in North America and beer is included.

The MWLUG 2014 OGS Guess Speaker will be autographing copies of his books "Blue Skies and Thunder" after the OGS.  He and his co-author, Stephanie A Gerdes will be on handle to sign their book.  The cost of hardcover copies is $30 and for the paperback copy, $ 20.  We ask if you would like them to autograph a copy that you donate $10 to our  MWLUG 2014 Outreach Program designated Grand Rapids food bank.  We will also be raffling off a few signed copies.  The raffle donation will also be $10. All the proceeds with benefit a Grand Rapids food bank. Please bring exact change.  The OGS is a bit shorted this year in order to give everyone an opportunity to get a signed copy of the book. 

We are three weeks away from MWLUG 2014 at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel from August 27-29, 2014.  The special hotel discount is expiring on August 11, 2014.  I will attempt to extend that, but no guarantees.  This is going to be the best MWLUG conference we have ever had.  Here are some of the highlights for this year.
