Topic: Bentley Conference 2007 in LA

[32599]

You don't have to worry Pieter, it say's right there on the website that they'll have it "Open Soon". See, there's no need to worry!

yeah, I'll be at my computer on february 28 @ 11:55pm for the briefy 5 minutes to try and get the $200 savings...
I'm sure that's when they open it... Oh, but I guess I need to find out for what time zone they are going to open it in...

It might be Eastern time as that is where their HQ is...

Read the "funny" thread in the discussion group, microstation.events.
A Bentley person responded...

With reservation, I went ahead and made my reservations at the Wilshire Grand hotel.
Made my plane reservations also... But still can't register for the conference itself...
I certainly hope they get their act together, soon.

I was a little shocked at the price for the hotel rooms...
I haven't booked anything as of yet. Next week I will look at airfare and hotel rooms.
See what the cost of everything comes out to be.

Lori, you going early or staying late or are you flying in-out?

I think I'm gonna go...

Wilshire Grand was one of the cheaper hotels that came with complimentary internet access, plus it is a 4 star hotel vs the others listed as 3 stars...
I plan to get there during daylight on Saturday and don't have any idea when I will be leaving (waiting on the travel center to find/confirm my flights) but I sure would like to be home late Thursday or early Friday (1am is just fine). My co-worker and boss will be travelling (from Raleigh) about the same time I'm travelling from Florida. My boss will be one of the speakers.

I do hope you get to go Pieter!
If you're driving... would you mind meeting me at the liquor store? Again Just kidding, this time

[Arizona]

Jet Blue?

No probably American... I'm getting real close to a free round trip ticket from them

[Arizona]

Pieter, I changed my hotel reservation to the Omni.

[pmvliet]

We have 1 day left... I sent an email to ask about the early bird discount being extended into March...
we shall see...

Check the Bentley discussion groups under announcements. Yesterday I saw where they said they would be extending this...

Yeah, add that to the endless list of websites that I need to start looking at on a regular basis... I've been trying to look at the AUGI forums more often and I'm lucky if I get over there every 2 weeks...
I need to hire a full-time web surfer 

I can get roundtrip airfare for under $400. That isn't too bad. I guess I could shop other airlines as see if they can beat Southwest. Still going to cost some money to attend. Close to $3,000.00 from my initial estimates.

That's better than my airfare @ $465
Currently we have ay least 5 people attending...

Registration is finally open!

But beware the glitches!!!
Like being overcharged!   then trying to get it corrected.

[pmvliet]

do they have a listing of the actual classes yet?

I know that was a big deal last year as you didn't know what was available
before te registration closed. Early registration for 10 days isn't very long as well.

Kind of rubs me the wrong way....

still not sure about going.... (now for other reasons besides $$)
