Sunday & Monday, August 17 & 18: TDWI Data Warehousing ...



Dear Attendee,

Thank you for joining us in Boston for our TDWI World Conference—Summer 2003, and for participating in our conference evaluation. Even with all the activities available in Boston, classes were filled all week long as everyone made the most of the wide range of full-day, half-day, and evening courses, Guru Sessions, Peer Networking, and our BI Strategies program.

We hope you had a productive and enjoyable week in Boston. This trip report is written by TDWI’s research department, and is divided into nine sections. We hope it will provide a valuable way to summarize the week to your boss!
