Tyler Connect 2009 Opening Event
Sunday, October 25, 2009, 8:00pm – 9:30pm

Powerful. Dynamic. Flexible.
You know it in Tyler products—now see it in action like never before. Our opening event will transport you to a fascinating world of imagination with Montage, presented by Cirque Imagination. A grand show of power, flexibility, and skill, Montage features former members of Cirque du Soleil who defy the perception of what is possible. This exciting event follows a short presentation by Tyler President and CEO, John S. Marr, Jr., where you’ll hear more about Tyler’s continued strength within the industry—and our commitment to you, to redefine what is possible in public sector software and services.




Connect Goes Universal

Tuesday, October 27, 2009, 6:30pm – 10:30pm

We’re takin’ it to the streets of Universal Studios,
New York style! You’ll feel like you’re “on location”
on the bustling streets of Manhattan as you take in
the detailed facades resembling many of the familiar
landmarks and neighborhoods of the Big Apple—
including Little Italy, Park Avenue, the Macy’s Building,
Gramercy Park, and more. Almost every set in the
metropolitan area of the studios was inspired by
scenes from films set in New York!

Spend the evening conversing with genuine
Universal Studios characters; shoot aliens and crash
cars with unlimited free play at the Sega Arcade; rock the
streets and belt out “Soul Man” with the Blues Brothers; and
dance the night away to the musical stylings of our own private
interactive DJ. But that’s just the beginning! Get ready for wild rides
like you’ve never experienced. Explore the mystery of ancient Egypt
on “Revenge of the Mummy”; become part of the adventure as you follow Shrek and Donkey during Shrek 4-D (presented in Ogre-vision); plunge headlong into the next century as you battle robots and dodge plasma blasts to save mankind during “Terminator 2: 3-D Battle Across Time”; and stake out your seat of choice for Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit—the most technologically advanced roller coaster in the world. This is one evening you won’t forget!

This event is complimentary for registered attendees and $110 for each guest.

love with the original beauty of old Florida. This educational

Florida! Experience beautiful protected wetland hammocks,

pristine sections of fresh water marshes and up river into the
bald-cypress swamp, home of the Florida Alligator, American
Bald Eagle, and a huge assortment of wildlife. Accompanying

ensure that each guest comes away with a profound understanding
of our vastly different land and plant communities, and the
importance of their interrelationship and preservation. You’ll

close—some endangered, some threatened, and a few native

called the Central Florida Everglades. Don’t forget to bring your camera!
