You can win, but you gotta attend!
The Metro Midrange Systems Association (MMSA) exists to provide the best in IBM midrange systems education for its members. To that end, we will be sending one of our members to COMMON this spring in Anaheim, California. That member could be YOU!
The COMMON 2012 Annual Meeting and Exposition will be held May 6 - 9, 2012, at the Disneyland® Resort in Anaheim, California. We're excited to offer one of our members the opportunity to attend the largest gathering of the Power Systems user community. And, we pick up the check!
Win a trip to the conference, including:
- Conference registration and admission (including the expo)
- Hotel accommodations
- $500 cash for travel expenses
What do you need to do?
- You get raffle tickets by attended MMSA meetings: the first three meetings = one ticket (attendance is counted back to September, 2011)
- Every additional meeting you attend after the first three gets you an additional ticket.
- This raffle is for MMSA members only. So if you are not a member, you need to sign up in order to win.
The raffle will be held at the regular monthly member's meeting in March so that the winner will have time to plan his/her trip. You need not be present to win, but you presence will definitely help your chances of winning because your attendance is what gets you tickets in the raffle.
If you have any questions, please contact one of the members of your Board of Directors. For more information on the COMMON 2012 Annual Meeting & Exposition, click here.
So remember: You can WIN, but you gotta attend!
