The next meeting of the Technology Committee and BCP Sub-Committee will take place on Wednesday and Thursday, February 18 & 19, 2009 at the Investment Company Institute, 1401 H Street, NW, David Silver Conference Room, 12th Floor, Washington, DC.

If you have questions about registration, please contact Agnes Thomas at 202-326-5846 or agnes@ici.org.
NEW COMMITTEE FORMAT
The February meeting will be structured differently than prior Technology Committee meetings. This is the first time we will have a separate BCP track on the agenda. Each day the BCP Sub-Committee will separate from the Technology Committee and have discussions and presentations specifically aimed at their interests. The two groups will spend time each day together as well to more effectively cover items of more general relevance.
HOTEL AND DINNER
A block of rooms has been reserved at the JW Marriott, 1331 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC, for the evenings of February 17 & 18, 2009. The room rate is $269 single/double per night. To make reservations, please call the hotel at (800) 228-9290 and ask for a room in the Investment Company Institute’s room block. Please make your hotel reservations as soon as possible as rooms are limited. The hotel requires all reservations be guaranteed with a one night’s deposit by Monday January 26, 2009 to receive the room block rate. Deposits are refundable if the hotel receives notice of cancellation at least 48 hours prior to arrival and a cancellation number is obtained.
