Travel & Hotel Info
Momentum 2010 will be held May 2-5 at The Westin Diplomat Resort & Spa in Hollywood, Florida.
The Westin Diplomat is situated directly on the Atlantic Ocean, offering dramatic views of either the sea or the Intracoastal Waterway. The beautiful surf and sand of Florida are literally just steps away. Or you can relax in the hotel’s spectacular infinity-edge and lagoon pools. Reserve a private cabana to escape the sun while you refresh and recharge in the ocean air.
Feeling a bit more energetic? Then give yourself some time in the WestinWORKOUT® Gym. Opt for a class, or go it alone—you’ll find the most distinguished names in fitness equipment such as Life Fitness and Precor, with plenty of choices to accommodate a renewing workout.
You might want to come early or stay after the conference to ensure that you have time to experience the Diplomat’s sister property just minutes away by shuttle—The Diplomat Golf Resort & Spa. Here you’ll find a 30,000 square foot spa featuring signature services that combine select Asian ingredients with Western techniques; a full Tennis Facility (ranked among the “Top 50 Resorts in the World” by Tennis Magazine); and top rate Golf at the 18-hole Joe Lee-designed course, the only 5-star rated course in South Florida!
Visit the hotel’s web site to learn more about everything this beautiful and exciting complex has to offer.

International Travelers
A great place to network-like no other conference.
International travelers coming to the United States to attend Momentum 2010 from visa-waiver countries should register in an online database through the U.S. Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) program before boarding a plane. Once approved, an application is good for two years and travelers will no longer be required to fill out an I-94W Form before each trip. Note, visitors from non-visa-waiver countries will still be required to complete the I-94W.

If you have questions about what WMS can really do or how it can fit into your supply chain environment, you should go to Momentum and talk to the people who use it every day. The conference is a great opportunity to network with existing MA clients and talk to the third party solution providers that are partnered with the company.
About Hollywood
You may want to plan some extra time to visit historic Hollywood’s palm-lined streets that draw shoppers and diners when they are not relaxing on the beach (or attending an important Momentum session!). Hollywood is known as the "Diamond of the Gold Coast" and for good reason–miles of pristine beaches with the city of Ft. Lauderdale just minutes away plus the lure of Miami and famed South Beach just 30 minutes to the south. Web sites of possible interest:
