The temp will be in the 90's and the humidity will probably be too.  Thank
goodness for Air conditioning.  Dress as if you were going to the tropics -
cool cotton shorts, skorts, sandals, etc. for outdoors.  Of course, indoors
will be A/C.  I live right outside the city so can give you some tips when
conf time comes if I am still online.  If it truly will be held here that is
great for me - as I cannot travel because of small children.
Why was the conf moved and the date is usually July?  Why the change? Will
there be an exam (iblce) as there usually is with the conf?  I have some
friends that want to take it. Anyone know what facility will host the conf?

Thanks,
