A second FIXML training session, which will address our new PNT System (Privately Negotiated Transactions --Blocks, EFP’s and Transfers), will be held on Tuesday, April 06, 2004, in CME’s Computer Training facility located at 20 S. Wacker Drive on the 18^th floor -- South Tower. This session, like the first one held this past Tuesday, will be conducted by CME Information Technology Development staff and will be geared to all FIXML Developers.  The session will begin at 10:00 a.m. and is expected to last approximately 90 minutes.  Please send an email tojperun@cme.com, as soon as possible, if you are interested in attending the session.

Based on feedback we received from Developers who attended our first training session, we decided to conduct this session in a PC classroom environment. This should assist Developers in building and creating FIXML messages using CME-provided tools.
