There will be a welcome bag > and a vendor fair running concurrently with the conference. We have > four speaker tracks planned: User Group Leadership, User Group > Information, IT Pro Information and Vendors. We have at least a dozen > speakers and vendors already lined up plus the national vendors that > sponsor APCUG and a Linux Install fest. This will be a multiplatform > conference! You can find the current list of APCUG sponsors on the > www.apcug.net website under vendors. We are inviting the > professional IT user groups and have a track for more technical > speakers. There is room in the conference tracks for any speakers or > vendors that might be interested from your area. The letter of > introduction to your local vendor is attached if you know of a company > that might be interested in participating or donating. The vendor > fair tables require an APCUG sponsorship fee. The speaker time slots > are 1 hour and 15 minutes each. If you've ever been to a conference > before, you know we could use more volunteers, vendors, speakers and > door prizes. We have a local planning committee working hard on this > and would welcome anyone else who would like to participate by > volunteering.
