On behalf of the Board of Directors for the International Harris Wireless Users Group, I want to extend an invitation to join us for the 2010 conference. This year’s meeting will be held at the Marriott Orlando Airport.
With the acquisition of Tyco Electronics Wireless Systems by Harris Corporation we are entering an exciting new era in Wireless Communications. This year’s conference allows all Harris users an excellent opportunity to preview new products and technologies, attend training sessions, and gain knowledge through social networking. It allows for one-on-one interaction with Harris personnel. This year we will be taking a field trip to Harris Headquarters in Melbourne, Florida. This provides us a chance to experience first hand Harris’ vision for the future. These sessions provide us a direct path to Harris’ staff so that we may discuss system issues or desired improvements that we feel need to be addressed. This interaction will include presentations by members of senior staff from Harris along with the President of RF Communications, Dana Mehnert, and CEO Howard Lance. With world events placing more and more demands on our radio systems, solutions to the challenges you face may be available at this year’s conference.
There will be opportunities to learn about new products that interface with our Harris systems through the Vendor presentations. We will also have a working vendor exhibit hall on Tuesday with an exciting display of products and services. At the end of the day we will have the chance at the vendor night to have quality time with users, vendors, and Harris staff to interact in a relaxed environment.
Roundtable sessions will be held on Wednesday and Thursday. There will be a total of eight (8) sessions where new information will be provided about key aspects of the Harris Systems. These roundtables will be broken out into small groups so that all participants could hear the information and interact with the Harris staff with comments about the topics.
There will be a new improvements and opportunities (I/O) process introduced into the conference this year. On Thursday afternoon, this process will be discussed and items from the week will be prioritized giving Harris information on what is important to us.
Throughout the conference there will be User to User - keynote speakers. They will be providing presentations on how users work through rebanding, system upgrades, major disasters, and large events with their Harris communication systems.
Registration for this year’s conference is $200 if payment is received prior to April 17th and $225 after April 17th. We have negotiated a daily rate of $109.00 and that rate is good for 3 days prior to the conference and also 3 days post conference. Please contact Marriott Orlando Airport to make your reservation. Please reference the group code “harhara” for the discounted rate.
We look forward to seeing you on May 17th. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at cindy@miamidade.gov or 305-596-8607.
Thank you,
Cindy M. Finney, President
