European Users (and, as we hope, future African users) of CAPE met for the second European CAPE User Group Meeting in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, a suburb of Great Paris, Monday September 1 and Tuesday September 2, 2008.
The presentations were "high quantity, high quality", so: fatiging. But, ..there was time to relax.
As we said E-UGM took place in a beautiful, historical suburb of Paris.
Saint-Germain-en-Laye is a historic heavyweight: a castle from the Middle Ages, once the residence of the French royalty, with gothic gardens and a breathtaking view over Paris-City.
The Refresher Training Courses, on Wednesday September 3, have attracted an unexpected number of participants. An encouraging aspect for E-UGM 2010.

The participation fee is expected to be around € 300,-to € 325 including the Monday night President's Dinner.

Refresher Training Courses. On Wednesday, Electrocon trainers will offer the possibility to participate in joint refresher training courses for an estimate of € 350,-. At the UGM in the States this has been a well appreciated opportunity to learn specific CAPE topics based on each participant's interests. We are happy to be able to offer the same possibility in Europe now. Details to follow.
We trust this information, although not definite nor binding yet, will be of interest to you and will assist in your budgeting and planning for next year.
