[bmw] TechFest East Reston VA May 13-16, 2004

[Steven Schlossman <steven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

And another reminder. . .
Originally established in 1981, Gateway Tech was
an annual gathering hosted by the St. Louis BMW
Club for those BMW enthusiasts who wanted to
delve just a little deeper into the technology
behind their Ultimate Driving Machine). Every
year for more than 20 years, the faithful took
over a St. Louis hotel and filled it with BMW
cars, gadgets and gearheads for three straight
days, which included tech sessions, social
gatherings, a showroom/vendor area, and a BMW CCA
Club Race.  Beginning with 2003, the event went
mobile, with a different chapter being asked to
host the event each year. The Los Angeles chapter
was honored in 2003 with being the host chapter
for the first event held outside of St. Louis and
now the National Capital Chapter welcomes you to
the Mid-Atlantic region in 2004. This event will
be held at the Hyatt Regency Reston in Reston
Virgina near Dulles Airport and 23 miles west of
Washington DC.

Full 4 day registration $150.00. 2 days of
technical seminars (Friday, Saturday and Sunday
morning), lunch Friday and Saturday. Welcome
Reception Thursday evening. Dinner Friday and
Saturday evenings. Door prizes, key note
speakers. First Class Hyatt Hotel just
$119/single. Make your reservations now!
