We have a limited number of seats so please register early; registration is on a ‘first come’
basis.
The OFR Symposium will officially start on February 21 st (Thursday) at 8am with IBM as our first speaker so we recommend you arrive in Austin on Wednesday (20th). On Wednesday evening there are no formal dinner plans or events so please feel free to arrive when you want.
However, for those who will be arriving by dinner time we will send out the names and email addresses of all attendees (approximately 1-2 months before the event) so that each of you can contact colleagues to coordinate dinner plans if that works with your schedule. Austin is a wonderful city for dining options so we highly recommend coming in early on Wednesday and enjoying some laughs over dinner with your colleagues.
If you have any questions, please let us know. We look forward to seeing you in Austin!
