I Can Help

Every year during the registration process we are asked "Is there anything I can do to help". Because of the large number of requests to help we usually have more volunteers than jobs. This year is different. We need each and everyone one of you to volunteer for a very important project. Once the conference is over and you have returned home and are looking at your spoils we need you to register that software and send those thank you notes telling the sponsors you appreciated their support of the conference.

Something New

For those who arrive Friday after noon the conference has two special features for you. First from 3:30 - 4:30, Jim Perry from the Prescott Computer Society will give a workshop on the history of computers. Second from 4:45 - 5:45 we will have a special guest Keynote speaker. For more information on the keynote speaker visit http://theswcc.org/sponsors/keynote.htm.

Annie Get Your Computer

I can do anything better than you. No you can't. Yes I can. For the answer to this age old question besure to visit the PC / MAC workshop.

From the Water Cooler

We expect this year’s conference to be the best ever. Already we have more vendors signed up then we did at this same time last year and what really is exciting is that this is the first time at Southwest for many of them. Also the attendee registration is ahead of last year. I wonder if this has anything to do with the extended discounted room rates before and after the conference for those wishing to add some vacation time and sight seeing to their trip to San Diego.

Viva Las Vegas

Just returned from a week of touring CES in Las Vegas - WOW! We literally walked for miles visiting vendor booths and listing to product discussions. I saw a neat portable device leash that was invented by a nine year old, a 10,000 dollars USB flash drive that took an artist six months to hand paint with a brush the size of a human hair, a production model of a device to keep from loosing a child, robotics devices galore. Talked to a lot of nice people and made some valuable contacts. Glad we have a year to rest up before we do it again.
