SET CONFLICT_OF_INTEREST ON

As you might know, I am one of the organizers and speakers of Southwest Fox so my opinion is a twisted and biased one.

Buyer beware.

It is my belief that conferences are for a lot of people, but not for everyone. Those who do not learn from listening to

others speak might not benefit from the conference. If you don't learn things by reading a white paper you might

consider skipping the conference. Those who do not benefit from networking should not come, after all it is like a forum

or listserver or Twitter, but live and in HD. That bothers some people. If you prefer learning about vendor products by

reviewing a Web site instead of talking to a sales person in person, then a conference might not be for you. If you

prefer to eat alone, and not talk shop at every meal, then a conference is not really a good idea.

On the other hand, if you want to learn more about your craft, hear of tools that integrate with your favorite

development platform, expand your mind past your normal comfort zone, and meet like-minded people, there is a good

chance Southwest Fox might be a perfect fit for you.

Early-bird deadline has been extended until September 5th, so we can save you $50 for use on your bar/food bill when you

are out networking with some of the finest people in our community. If you are going to sign up, I'd suggest learning to

the FoxShow teaser interview with the SWFox organizers for a special offer.

Just to be clear though, other than a handful of speakers who pop up here, very few people from ProFox come to Southwest

Fox. I don't want you to come expecting to see all the regulars you see here on ProFox. But I see this as a big benefit

too, as you get to expand the people you know from the Fox Community. Once thing is for certain, the people who come are

really passionate about VFP and software development in general. I suspect you also will walk away with new ideas and

energy unlike any you have felt before.

Friends

For many years, I have wanted to attend a conference such as the SW Fox

2012

For me, this is a very long trip, and airfares alone as substantial.

In your opinion, are these conferences worth while.
