Davin Chan, VP of the SGI User Group, has just dropped me an email with a reminder that their annual conference is coming up. Full details are:

We will be holding our 7th annual Conference in San Antonio, TX Oct 21-23.

Some of our featured keynotes will include:

SGI Directions
Mark Barrenechea, President & CEO, SGI

Needle Amongst the HayStacks: Analytics and Mining Sharded Datasets
S. Ryan Quick, Principal Architect, EBAY/PAYPAL

Technology Trends
Dr. Eng Lim Goh, Senior Vice President & CTO, SGI

The conference is a good opportunity to interact with SGI engineers, executives
and other SGI customers. You can find more information about the conference
including a preliminary program at www.sgiug.org.

The lineup of speakers sounds impressive – Dr. Eng Lim Goh is always a good speaker, and it would also be interesting to hear Mark Barrenechea’s take on recent events.
