I subscribed for this event, but yesterday I got a mail that this day is
cancelled because of the low number of enrolments.
Is no one of the European users is interested in this event?

In my opinion, coming from England where we have an ingrained reluctance to
pay for vendor events, it's far too expensive, particularly when I'd have to
pay travel and subsistence too.
Similarly with the IDUG/Informix conference in Tampa.

I can't say I knew about it. It looks very interesting actually but I
don't know if my boss would allow me or a .NET developer to go. He
probably would if we could make a good case for it. It's costly to
attend though with the fee, travel, hotels and work not done because
you're out of the office.

Carlton Doe is a very good speaker but he gave the same or a similar
presentation at the UK Informix User Group meeting in Warwick last year
which was a free event and we can get there and back in a day, which is
not to say that it isn't worth paying for.

IBM have been pushing an Infobahn at us through phone calls and emails.
That is in London but that seems to be sales driven thing and we're only
really interested in technical events. When I told them this they didn't
mention this event at The Hague.

Because the UK event is organised by IBM UK sales and marketing and the
Tech event by someone else completely. Left hand and right hand ....
