hi all,

is anyone here going to attend the Baan Conference in Rome this year?

Anybody know any information at all on this? How much it would cost to attend? Location of event? Key events?

Thanks,

Jim

I will be going, is in Rome. our company just decided to go the full monty with Baan. I will go to see what's new with Baan!

Look at http://inforum.baan.com

Well, we thought about it a good while but for us baanboard guys, the whole event is too expensive to pay out of our own pockets. And we did plan to make special Baanboard T-shirts and walk around in them! So there will be no 'official' baanboard representation :( But any promotion at the conference by our visiting members would be much appreciated :)

I will definitely encourage people to visit the best Baan Board around!

(and I am trying to arrange my travel to extend to Belgium to visit the FAMOUS patvdv!)

Hey Jim,

Thanks for the promo help :) You are most welcome in Belgium! Euh, famous? Just a hard working Baan fella will do :) *nudges Jim*

Pat,

Is there a way for those who go to inForum to get a baanboard t-shirt?
I will definitely be there. It will be great for all bb supports to meet in Rome and to have a nice glass of good Italian wine.
Just to celibrate La Dolce Vita!!!

Regards,

Edwin

Patrick, you are far more famous than you know. I've stopped counting the amount of people I've met that say they have met you, talked to you, got a t-shirt with your pic on....

Might be going to Rome, not sure yet, but any UK people should be considering going to the BaanUsers UK conference the week after up in Warrington (not as plush as Rome, but must have been visited by the Romans at one time). Check out www.baanusers.co.uk for the agenda and details....

And Pat, send over some t-shirts for Baanboard and I'll try and get a few out (even wear one myself after I have finished wearing my 'fcuk sap' t-shirt :p )

Well we'll see what we can do where t-shirts are concerned :)

I just want to let everyone know that as far as Tshirts go, orange is not my color :D

At the last BWU show all of the Baan people were in suits. Do y'all think that conferences in Europe will be more business attire versus casual?

-- Jim

Mmm, wasn't exactly thinking of orange :cool: As to dress code, it usually does not apply to me anyway :D

Hi all

I am a Brit living a nd working in Italy.
Will be at the Baan event for sure......

Hope to see you all....believe me it will be difficult to compare with the Warrington event....;-)

So when's the first Baanboard conference / social event? ;)

Actually thats a great idea. Would you mind Pat if we held an informal meeting of the UK Baanboard people sometime?

Does it just have to be the UK?

Hi Chris,

That's a good idea! But I agree with James' comment: why not make it a global event?

Well, firstly a meeting of minds for the countries would be a start, and then lets face it, globally where would it be held, which company would pay for their baan people to pop off to it for a jolly etc....

A global one would be nice but would be one hell of a planning nightmare... and who of us has the time to start planning that (Unless its held at your house pat!)

Most conferences have a place where messages can be posted. Perhaps we can simply put a note on that board saying where and when a Baanboard group will be meeting for lunch, dinner, drinks, or whatever.
