Starting from June 2008, and subject to demand, we will hold "commercial breaks" during the lunch break of our regular DB2 User Group meetings which Delegates can attend or not as they wish. These breaks will not occur during the GSE Conference as this already has an Expo which provides commercial options.
Each session will be limited 15 minutes (strictly enforced), starting 20 minutes and 40 minutes after the start of the lunch hour, should be agreed with the Chairman beforehand and will be included in the agenda. The slots are open to product Vendors and Consultancy organisations. They can be used for product or service related information, unlike our regular agenda slots, subject to the guidelines below.
The brief informal 'Productwatch' updates during the News and Introduction session at the beginning of each meeting will still be available.
These sessions are being introduced as a result of suggestions during the March meeting. Our rules which ban product information being delivered during main agenda sessions will remain, although this rule is at the discretion of members, and could be changed in the future if the group as a whole decides to do so.
Any organisation wishing to request a slot should email the chairman with a brief description of the organisation and topic that you want to cover. We will endeavour to keep the list in first come first served order, but this has to be balanced against other vendors and the degree of relevance of the offerings to the members of the group. We will keep a list of all requests and attempt to be as transparent as possible.
When presenting please observe the following guidelines:
