As some of you have pointed out, the Friends of Performer meeting at
I/ITSEC had a schedule overlap with MPI's User Group meeting the same
evening.
Great news: Together with MPI we've reorganized our schedules so
that everyone will be able to attend both meetings, and in the same
room! To accomodate the new schedule, MPI will be starting early,
our receptions/social-hours will be combined together, and Friends of
Performer will start a bit later.
In brief:
- MPI's User Group presentations will now begin at 6pm.(*)
- Around 7pm, MPI's meeting will break into 1-on-1 conversation(*)
and the combined MPI reception & Friends of Performer reception
will begin. Food & Drinks will be served!
- The Friends of Performer presentations will begin at 7:30pm.
(*) Just a summary -- MPI will be sending more details to their
mailing lists & invited guests.
Appended below is a revised version of my earlier message.
Also: There's still some space available for Thursday's IRIS
Performer Guru Training session. If you'd like to attend,
please contact zhz++at++engr.sgi.com to register.
