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.
