Creating Your Personalized Schedule

Dave Aring of Visionpace has created a very cool session scheduling application called Kokopelli (the name of the figure with the flute in our logo). It automates the selection of the sessions you want to see and even creates a handy printed schedule that fits in your conference badge. Download the ZIP file and extract it in its own directory, then run Kokopelli.EXE; it requires that VFP 8 or 9 be installed on the system. Although it's very intuitive, it also includes instructions on how to use it.
