I got that as well. My boss called to cancel his registration yesterday as he was not willing to fly down there after recent events. They told him they would be releasing an email yesterday as a large number of people have been canceling . . . just curious if someone had an inside scoop or heard anything yet . . . ----- Original Message ----- From: "Crumbaker, Ron" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2001 12:19 PM Subject: RE: MEC Yes. Still on. Here is what I got from them: September 11 was a day of shock and sadness for people around the world. Our hearts go out to all those who have been affected by this terrible tragedy. As you know, President Bush and other global and national leaders urged that the business and economic activities of this nation and the global economy must continue, even as we all work together to address the terrible human costs of the September 11th tragedy. The reopening of the financial markets is just one step in resuming the economic activities of our nation. After long consideration, we have decided to move forward with the MEC 2001 in Orlando, Florida, on September 30th through October 4th as scheduled. Based on input from travel industry and government officials, we strongly believe that national and international air transportation, hotels and other support services will be fully operational before the MEC 2001 conference opens. All MEC 2001 keynotes, sessions, functions and special events will take place as scheduled. We are working closely with state and local authorities to ensure every possible security measure is in place. All of us at Microsoft are keeping the victims of this tragedy in our thoughts and prayers. We hope to see you in Orlando as we carry on our lives full of pride in our values and our country.
