Frequently Asked Questions
What is the status of SunGard’s Benefit Administration Summit?
- The Benefit Administration Summit 2011 has been rescheduled (from August 28 – 30) to November 16 – 18 because of travel and safety issues resulting from the impact of Hurricane Irene on the Atlantic Coast.
Where is the rescheduled Benefit Administration Summit being held?
- The rescheduled Benefit Administration Summit 2011 will be held at the same location: The Ritz-Carlton in Amelia Island, FL.
The severe weather seems to be bypassing Amelia Island. Why reschedule?
- While the severest weather is now predicted to take place north of the event venue, a significant number of our customers and employees would need to travel from the Mid Atlantic and other areas in the northeast. Travel for them would be difficult, if possible. The safety of our customers, vendor partners, and employees is of the upmost importance.
Will the rescheduled Benefit Administration Summit be the same as the one scheduled for August?
- The rescheduled event will mirror the current agenda as much as possible. We are in the process of contacting speakers and vendors in order to provide them with ample time to adjust their calendars to accommodate the new dates. We will send out email notifications if there are any significant changes to the agenda, and this site will be updated frequently.
