In one of my earlier postings (a few months ago), I stated that I had
planned to take out the management roundtable, because it was, in my
opinion, a waste of time and it interfered with the program.  I was
overruled last year because the MRT had already been promised to HP.  My
term as chair of the conference ended at the closure of the Chicago
conference.  The baton was passed to David Bird of the Hertz corporation.

I suggested to him at transition time, that he delete the MRT.  I suggest
you take it up with him and with Interex directly.

(Look out David, you are going to be flooded with e-mail!)

Kind regards,

The ManagementRoundtable left such a sour taste in my mouth that it just
keeps coming back to annoy me. And will continue to annoy me until there
is some kind of closure.

Boy howdy!!!
As one who has been to every conference since '84 (Anahiem #1),
The Management Roundtable in Chicago was the biggest waste of time
I can remember.  If I had wanted to attend a "look how great we are"
presentation, I would have gone to the booth.

I sure hope Interex (and HP) get the message for this year.
I'll give them one more chance, and then start scheduling something
more worthwhile during that time slot.
