You can’t afford to be anywhere else! Tuesday, October 24, 2006, one full day of intensive System i Technical training, at a great price, right in your own backyard. These are the hottest topics on the System i today.

We have picked a very convenient location. The Danbury Sheraton (same location as last year) located in Danbury CT, which is right off I-84 Exit 2 eastbound and Exit 2A westbound (18 Old Ridgebury Rd, Danbury CT).

Each year we bring the best speakers from our industry to Danbury, CT for this one day event. The best speakers, their best topics, all at a very affordable price. Come hear about SQL with Skip Marchesani, known as Mr. SQL on the iSeries. What about RPG by two of the best RPG speakers in the world, George Farr and Susan Gantner. Hear Carson Soule provide his unique insight into Application Development strategy and Service Orientated Architecture. Direct from the IBM Rochester Lab, hear Linda Hirsh tell you everything you need to know about iSeries Access (formerly Client Access).

How are you getting your System i education? What new things have you learned this year? Do your skills need updating? Come to the FASUG All Day Technical Conference and learn the skills you need to succeed in today’s environment. Perhaps you are too busy to attend some of the large 3-, 4-, or 5-day conferences. Well then our one-day seminar will be a perfect fit for your schedule, and your wallet. Improve your existing skills by learning from the experts, or learn about new ways to expand your skills. Either way, you will find it here. If you are a programmer, manager, operator, or systems administrator, this one-day seminar has classes for each and every one of you, and will provide you with the skills you need for now and the future. Give yourself or your team the information and knowledge to expand their skills on the System i. Today’s I.T. professionals have more demands on them than at any other time. Yet, when do we find the time to meet these demands and invest in ourselves or our employees? Mark your calendar for Tuesday Oct 24th, for the fourteenth annual FASUG All Day Technical Conference.

Look over the grid and see the variety of sessions that are offered. Can you afford to stay at work, and let technology pass you by? Need some help with fundamental RPG? We have some good solid basic RPG foundation classes. What about Advanced RPG, Static Binding, and Activation Groups? What about SQL? SQL is now everywhere, and we have the sessions to make you an SQL expert on the iSeries. There are classes on Web integration using RPG and XML. What about iSeries Access: what’s new, access via the web, and how to administer all these new functions? Have you realized how much has been added to the AS/400, iSeries, i5, or System i over the years, and the many new features and functions that are available? These sessions will help you get the most out of your investment in the System i. The answers will be found at the FASUG conference on Tuesday, October 24, 2006. In one day, you can be exposed to many new topics, as well as learn about existing iSeries technology that you must know. Mark your calendars now; better yet fill out the registration and send it in.

Whether you are new to the iSeries, or even an expert, there is no better place to enhance your iSeries educational journey. Perhaps you find it difficult to send your staff away or even yourself for a few days at a time? Then FASUG’s Fourteenth annual iSeries Application Development Day is for you. There are 4 concurrent tracks throughout the day. Your hardest decision may be which sessions to attend.

SPACE IS LIMITED, DON’T DELAY OR YOU WILL MISS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY!

Don’t forget, you can attend any session during any hour that you wish. You are not locked into a &track& or just one speaker. You go to the session that you are most interested in. We have provided this year a track for Application Development Managers and IT Managers. Looking at the Grid, you will find that Track A is devoted to topics of interest for IT Managers and Application Development Managers. Learn what you need to guide your shop into the future on your System i.

There are new features and functions being added to the iSeries at an astounding rate. How can you continue to perform the functions of your existing job, yet at the same time learn about these new iSeries features and functions? Invest in yourself by attending the Fourteenth Annual FASUG iSeries Application Development Day. You will learn about: SQL, RPG, iSeries Access, new ways to edit programs using PC based editors (WDSc) integrated with your System i, Database essentials, SOA, XML, and strategies to help you in today’s programming environments. These are topics that you and your company can’t afford to miss.

With so many interesting and informative topics to choose from, why not bring the entire staff so you can have someone attend every session? Your investment will pay for itself many times over. Start your System i Technical journey on Tuesday, October 24th with FASUG. Bring a co-worker or bring a iSeries friend.

There are many conferences that are available to educate iSeries professionals. We have taken some of the best topics presented at COMMON by some of the best speakers, added a vendor exhibit and "show & tell" area, wrapped this all into a four-track one-day format that is within easy commuting distance, all at a very affordable price. With today’s constraints of time, resources, and dollars, where else can you get this much iSeries/400 training for so few dollars?
