Ingres World 1999
Update
By Karen Bishop
NAIUA Program Chair
There are a few new twists at Ingres World this year for those of you who are returning.
Although the hotel is still the Sheraton, unlike previous years the sessions themselves
will be held at the convention center. This will mean more time in the bus commuting to
the center than in prior years.
The start of CA World itself will be a little different as well. The standard kickoff has
always been a keynote by Charles Wang on Sunday night. This year both Charles and Sanjay
will be speaking on Monday morning, followed by the actual Ingres World kickoff speech by
John Ainsworth 11:30 on Monday morning.
This year the NAIUA committee will attempt to be more visible, with current president Karl
Schendel introducing John Ainsworth and moderating the executive Q&A. As always we
will have a booth in the technical campground to provide you with membership information
or to help you with any other issues. All of the executive members are veterans of
World. Don't hesitate to use their experience to find help with Ingres or New Orleans in
general.
This year we will be having an NAIUA business meeting in the early evening to avoid the
conflicts with presentations and vendor shows that we encountered last year. We will have
more information about the time and format in the next newsletter. There will also be a
meeting of II_USERS, the international users group.
There should be no need to print any agenda information here, because everything is online
on the web. We have |

2 links to World from our site
ww.naiua.org, or you can go directly to www.caworld.com/caworld99. The sessions are
filling out nicely with as usual a large percentage of the Ingres sessions by our own
Ingres users. Ingres has always had the largest percentage of non-Ca technical presenters
at CA-World.
See you in New Orleans

without special
permits.
I just want to clear up one issue which we get a lot of questions about. The NAIUA
memberships have traditionally been a yearly term thing that follow the calendar year of
January 1 to December 31.
We do now track the date that you do pay, but administratively it is easier to consider
you paid for a particular year. As a lot of members are being paid for by their companies,
we know that some will pay at World with their credit cards. The only reason we don't know
that some of you paid at last World is because of the office transition.
As always you can contact me at comm@naiua.org
Feedback and articles are always welcome.
