Recommended Dress
Don’t bother with a suit and tie unless that’s your style. The 2005 Annual PARTNERS User Group Conference and Expo is totally business casual. We just ask that you save the jeans for your free night. Meeting rooms can be chilly because of the air conditioning, so it’s probably a good idea to bring a light sweater.
Breakfast and Lunch
Continental breakfast will be served Monday through Thursday. Lunch is provided Monday through Wednesday. The cost of breakfast and lunch, as well as food for the conference-scheduled evening events, is included with your full conference registration fee.

Ahhhhh...Florida
Sunny weather, sandy beaches, beautiful golf courses—and of course—the Walt Disney World® Resort in Orlando. Located in the heart of the sunshine state, Orlando serves as the perfect host city for The 2005 Annual Teradata PARTNERS User Group Conference and Expo. And from September 18-22 you will feel right at home in the stunning Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin.
Nestled within the Walt Disney World® Resort, the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin is near the collection of theme parks, museums, and various other world-class attractions that make Orlando one of America's top vacation destinations. Just 20 minutes from the Orlando International Airport, and 25 minutes from Amtrack, the easily accessible hotel allows you the opportunity to take in as much of Orlando as you can in a short period of time.
The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin is the brainchild of internationally acclaimed architect Michael Graves. The hotel's signature state-of-the-art entertainment and luxury was designed with you in mind—especially the Heavenly Bed® that Mr. Graves added to each room to give you a good night's rest.
And a good nights rest in Orlando is a must if you want to experience all of the city's rich cultural, dining, and sporting attractions:
Take a leisurely stroll through the Orlando Museum of Art and view its extensive collections and touring
exhibitions. Or get a hands-on education at the Orlando Science Center.
Walk through the City of Eatonville—America's oldest incorporated African-American municipality—and
celebrate the rich heritage that it embodies.
Lose yourself in one of Orlando's many theater venues. From Opera, to ballet, to Broadway musical
shows, your artistic needs are sure to be satisfied.
Love to shop? Then visit the more than 52 million square feet of retail space that Orlando has to offer—
Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Dillard's, Saks Fifth Avenue and many others. Go ahead, buy that Orlando
Magic basketball jersey you want, it will go great with the Mickey Mouse Ears back at the hotel gift
shop.
If you are a golf fanatic, then feast on Orlando's buffet of 150-area golf courses. World-class greens.
World-class fairways. World-class fun!
Speaking of feasting, you will certainly fulfill your hunger dining at one of Orlando's more than 5,000
restaurants. From city-side restaurants to lakefront cafes—and from seafood to steak—you can find
the perfect dining combination to satisfy your appetite.
