Nashville Flood Alert
5:00 pm eastern, Friday May 07
Our thoughts are with those impacted by the devastating floods in Nashville, Tennessee and the PLM World board has decided to “relocate” our Siemens PLM Connection user group conference to Dallas on June 27 – July 2. The overwhelming feedback from you, the user community, was to continue to have the conference this year and preferably in the next several months. We are very pleased to announce that we have set a new date and location for the upcoming Siemens PLM Connection 2010 event:
Where: Dallas, TX
When: 27 June – 2 July 2010
After looking for other event sites in Nashville during the same time, we were encouraged by the Nashville tourism office to go elsewhere because of the sustained damage, cleanup and needed reconstruction effort. We are currently in the final stages of signing the contract with the hotel in Dallas and will let you know early next week once the contract is in place with the exact details. Your registration will be maintained but you’ll need to rebook your hotel which will be on the site once we announce the venue. In addition, we are also allowing you to transfer your registration to another person if scheduling is an issue.
Please watch for another communication early next week.
Thanks again for your support.

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.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.
Sincerely,
PLM World

As of this morning, the PLM World team is in contact with the Gaylord Opryland in Nashville regarding their flooding situation. We will continue to work with them over the next few days as they determine what, if any, damage they have to their facility, and how that may affect our upcoming conference. At this time, we do not anticipate any change to our conference schedule, and are still planning to hold it May 24-27. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact Beth Ewing, PLM World’s business director at 561-308-8056. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
