APCUG 2007 Annual Conference Wrap-up
Jim Evans, Conference Co-chair

Once again, thanks to some dedicated volunteers, another great annual conference was held at the Riviera Hotel in early January. A conference like this is the result of long hours by many people. First and foremost are our meeting planners, Caryl Hall and Peggy Ireland, who kept track of a never ending list of requests and arrangements with the hotel. Then there is Ash Nallawalla, who organized the educational sessions. Ash also served as a co-chair, as did Judy Lococo, who helped keep us in line.

The Alliances Committee, headed by Patricia Hill and David Steward, recruited all of our fine sponsors. Bob Coppedge was our on-site Volunteer Coordinator and the Conference Answer Man. If you had a question, you asked Bob. Judy Taylour organized and edited the Proceedings Book. Judy would have been at the conference, but she thought moving her daughter’s family to Colorado in the winter, would be more fun. Don Singleton and Rich Schinnell handled the web site.

Kathy Hannula was in charge of registration and has done a great job keeping track of everyone, as did Lori Berenson, APCUG’s Administrative Assistant, who provided other behind the scenes support. They were all part of the 2007 Conference Team.

From the conference evaluations, 220 attendees said this was one of the best conferences ever. Plans are being formulated for the 2008 Annual Conference. Watch for an announcement on this.

For those of you who attended the conference and those who didn’t, files from the conference are posted at http://www.apcug.net/events/conference07/conf07files.htm
