I think people will be interested in WebSphere 6, which is IBM's J2EE 1.4 release It's the first new full version of WebSphere in two years, and will be the base for everything to come from IBM in WebSphere. ILOG is also sending a technically advanced speaker on Business Rules engines, for the preliminary sponsored portion of the meeting.
We've tried to lay out the schedule below to allow some extra time for informal chatting with speakers.
Regards,
Don

Directions to the Meeting
Distance from Raleigh (17 miles) / Durham (8 miles) / Chapel Hill (12 miles)
From I-40, take Exit 280 - Davis Drive. At the end of the exit ramp, take a right (North) onto Davis Drive. Continue straight on Davis Drive for about 0.5 miles. Take a right on Cornwallis road. Go about 1/2 mile, you will cross over railroad tracks. At the IBM gate keep to the right.
If the rightmost gate is down, press on the intercom button and tell the remote guard that you are attending the WebSphere User Group meeting, and give him your name. He will open the gate for you. Go through gate, follow the road around past the first Tivoli Building, looking for signs leading to Building 500 or "Software Group." Our IBM host is Greg Ackerman - they may ask for his name.
