Informix User Forum, December 8-9, Atlanta

Informix User Forum 2005
A Two-Day User Group Technical Conference
December 8-9, 2005
Atlanta, Georgia USA


The Southeast Informix Users Group (SEIUG), based in Atlanta, GA, and the
Washington Area Informix User Group (WAIUG) based in Washington, DC, are
teaming up to present Informix User Forum 2005, the premiere Informix
regional user group technical conference in the eastern U.S.

The Informix User Forum, previously sponsored biennially by WAIUG, has long
had a reputation for excellence in both value and technical content. Now,
the two groups have joined forces to evolve the Forum into an annual
two-day conference. This year's event will be held December 8-9 in
Atlanta.

Forum 2005 promises to provide even more technical content, plus
opportunities to network with fellow users and access to information on the
latest vendor offerings. This, combined with a registration fee of US$
50.00 for the entire conference, makes the value of this event hard to
beat.


Call For Presentations

We are currently accepting presentation abstracts for the Forum on
Informix-related topics in any of the areas listed below. Subjects related
to all current Informix and Informix-heritage products are welcome, as well
as products that operate in those environments such as other IBM products,
plus third party, Open Source and cross-platform products.

Presenters will receive a complimentary all-conference pass.

The Forum will be organized into three general subject areas or tracks that
will run concurrently.

The Application Development track will cover such topics as application
development tools and methodologies, application and database architecture,
and maximizing application and SQL performance.

The Database Engines and Administration track will feature sessions on
topics including database and data warehouse design and administration,
performance tuning, backup and restore, and security.

The Informix Edge track will contain talks on aspects of Informix that
provide a distinct edge in application development and processing such as
emerging technologies like XML and Web services, operation in
cross-platform and heterogeneous environments, and support for Open Source
and third-party tools.

Tracks will feature extended session lengths of 70 minutes, which
conference goers have said they prefer.

find that the Informix User Forum 2005 will continue the tradition of
providing extremely high quality and dense technical content at very low
cost. Visit the Forum site for more information. We hope to see you in
