SLATE Group Blog: Upcoming SLATE Events in July

Mark your calendar for two upcoming SLATE events:

- Wednesday, July 13 @ 3:00pm - SLATE Meet & Greet at BbWorld

SLATE will be meeting as a group at BbWorld. This has become a tradition to gather at the conference to put faces to names/emails for those who are unable to connect on a regular basis. If you get a chance, please stop by and say hello. Bring your colleagues and friends and anyone who may be interested in learning more about SLATE and the Bb User Group Community in general. There will be an open informal discussion about upgrades, the upcoming SLATE Conference, and other items of interest. Check the conference program for the specific room designation.

- Wednesday, July 20 @ 10:05am - SLATE regular monthly meeting

The next monthly SLATE meeting will be on Wednesday, July 20th beginning @ 10:05am and hosted by Dominican University. We will be meeting in Parmer 108 also know as the Bluhm Lecture Hall. Parmer Hall is building 10 on the main campus map. Additional information, parking, maps, etc., can be found at the end of this message. So that Dominican can prepare for our visit, it is very important that you RSVP back to Ken Sadowski by Monday, July 18th, with the names of those who will be attending from your institution.

Main Agenda – BbWorld in Review

This will certainly be an "interesting" BbWorld after the announcement of last week. So for those who are unable to attend the conference in person, hear from those of us who were there about what will be coming next. We'll share any other interesting news and information. Also, take-away's from interesting presentations, discussions, and sessions we attended. I hope that anyone that is attending BbWorld will also be able to attend this meeting and share their experiences, stories, and connections with others.

Additional Agenda Items (as time allows)

- 2011 SLATE Conference call for proposals, registration, etc.

- Updates/reports on those who have upgraded to Bb9.x

- Service Pack 6
