Re: MI: Mapworld Conference 99 Florida

I've been to three MapWorlds in the past four years and I'd say it's a pretty good 
conference. Like 
most events, the more you put into it, the more you get out. Careful selection of the 
concurrent 
sessions is essential, as is enjoying oneself. The thing I like most about it is 
meeting people from 
all over the world who are using MapInfo in such contrasting ways. Not only can the 
sessions 
educate, but new friends can inspire - no matter what level of expertise one has.

My main grumble would be that some years (although last year was better), the 
conference 
materials are 90% separator and note pages. It's amazing how much baggage weight one 
can 
shed at the airport going home if your brutal with the paperwork. Oh yeah... and they 
don't make 
baseball caps big enough for me either. :-)

Hope you and other -L'ers can make it.
