Rahmenbedingungen
Im Rahmen der Lab Tour gab Lotus weit in die Zukunft reichende Informationen (u.a. Ausblick Lotus Notes / Domino 9 etc.) an die Teilnehmer. Das vorherige Unterzeichen eines Non-Disclosure Agreements war daher Voraussetzung für die Teilnahme.

Die Teilnahme war für DNUG Mitglieder kostenlos. Anreise und Übernachtung erfolgten in Eigenregie. Aus mehreren deutschen Städten gibt es Direktflüge nach Boston - bei der Lufthansa aktuell besonders günstig! Reise- und Hotelinformationen sind gegenüber 2007 kaum verändert.

Selbstverständlich konnte der Kurzbesuch in den USA um einige Tage Urlaub erweitert werden, um z.B. das Boston Computer Museum (Museum of Science) zu besichtigen, den günstigen Dollar-Kurs zum Shoppen zu nutzen oder Neuengland besser kennenzulernen.
