To all Metro Users: December, 2007.
It is time to plan for the 39th annual Metro Users Group Conference. The conference will be held from Saturday, February 17
through Wednesday, February 21, 2007 at the Wyndham Orlando Resort.
The success of the conference depends on participation from all the Metro Users. Your contribution on cost saving ideas,
revenue-enhancing opportunities, 48” web width conversions and improved maintenance procedures has/will certainly pay
dividends. The Metro Users Group will continue to provide the best networking and information gathering opportunities
necessary to keep your Goss equipment running. New this year will be Goss Training Sessions being held on Sunday afternoon.
Goss experts will be in attendance to discuss your concerns, answer your questions, and give advice. Focus will be on unit
and folder rebuilds, troubleshooting techniques, and productivity improvement. These sessions will replace the plant tour.
We strongly urge you to book your room at the Wyndham Orlando Resort under the Metro Users Group Room Block. Early
registration, by January 31, 2007, will make it easier for us to accommodate everyone. We will order a shirt for those who
pre-register and will only order a very limited amount of additional shirts to have on hand for those who register at the
conference. The deadline for making your room reservation is January 26, 2007.
