2010 PLM World Attendees-Nashville Flood Alert

Those of us planning to attend the 2010 PLM World in Nashville have probably already received this communication, but if not, here's the latest:

As you may know, the Nashville, TN area has received an unprecedented amount of rain that has caused major flooding throughout the area.  One of the areas hardest hit is the Gaylord Opryland Hotel where PLM World and Siemens are holding the annual Siemens PLM Connection user group conference on May 24-27, 2010.  

The PLM World board is working with the Gaylord property and our event business partner to find alternative meeting space along with hotel accommodations in the greater Nashville area during the scheduled conference week.  Our desire is to find another suitable venue and hold the conference as planned during the May 24th week.  We hope to have a decision whether this will be possible in the next couple of days.   Please continue to hold your travel reservations and we expect a final decision about the conference by this Friday, May 7th.
