The Federation of Business Disciplines is excited to declare the Renaissance Hotel in Oklahoma City as the new site for our 2006 Annual Meeting, to be held as scheduled from March 1-4.

        Oklahoma City is a fantastic location! Its entertainment district Bricktown, only a block away from our conference hotel, consists of more than 50 restaurants and nightclubs. Sit down and listen to live music, or just stroll along the beautiful canal. Bricktown is a very safe, energizing place, and if you walk too far, you can always take a water taxi back.

        Our conference venue, the Renaissance Hotel, was built from the ground up in 2000 and is a very modern hotel with beautiful rooms at reasonable rates. Our overflow hotel, the Sheraton, is right across the street.

        Taken together, our hotel and the location are as good as it gets! Therefore, we would like to encourage you to make every possible effort to participate in our 2006 meeting. Keep the submissions coming! Most associations have extended their deadlines for you and we all expect to see you in Oklahoma City in March! You will not regret your attendance!

        Please feel free to contact me or any of the Program Chairs with any questions or concerns at any time.

Sincerely,

Wolfgang Hinck
