HP World cancelled - Interex Bankrupt
HP World 2005, August 14-18 in San Francisco is CANCELLED and Interex, who sponsors the event, is bankrupt, confidential and reliable sources informed The Ted Rap.
Apparently this is a secret and the website has no information, the speakers, presenters, and exhibitors haven't been told - no one has been told yet not even the volunteers running the conference.
The Interex Board should explain why they haven't told anyone directly! People are busy making (often nonrefundable) plane reservations and plans.
I'm sure the Interex board is busy with damage control, but is that an excuse??
I am scheduled to speak there - why haven't they told me??
Addendums 1:25 PM EST. Interex not answering their phones - doesn't look good!
Tuesday, 2AM EST: Conference cancellation confirmed. www.hpworld.com still accepting registrations!

Lucky for me that they weren't answering their faxes. Otherwise they might have run up a $350 charge. I'm not saying that they would, but organizations without money sometimes take desperate measures.
You saved my butt! I was about to book cheap non-refundable airfare, but was procrastinating and reading your blog first!
Thanks.
