Ken Levy is hosting a free full-day pre-conference workshop for FoxPro developers interested in Servoy.

We are disappointed that Craig Boyd will be unable to present at Southwest Fox 2010; we look forward to his return in the future. We are delighted that Jody Meyer has agreed to step in. She'll present two topics: Web Development using CSS - 101 and It's Easy & It's Green: PDF Output. Jody did a terrific job when she presented at last year's Southwest Fox and we're happy to have her back.

Listen to FoxShow #68, in which Eric Selje discusses his sessions on extending web applications with VFP and getting into the VFP2C32 library.

Amongst our more than $65,000 in door prizes are four copies of Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate with MSDN, worth $11,899 each!

Kevin Ragsdale has several excellent blog posts on sessions he attended at previous Southwest Fox conferences and why he's looking forward to this year's: Two Great Reasons To Attend Southwest Fox This Year, And Now You Can Run The App From The Command Window, Christof Is A Freaking Genius, and My Favorite Teacher Is Speaking At Southwest Fox.

Listen to FoxShow #67, in which Rick Borup discusses his Design Patterns and Ruby and Rails sessions.

Southwest Fox sponsor DBI Technologies have a special promotion for Southwest Fox attendees: test drive one of their components for a chance to win one of four $100 Visa gift cards.

Eric Selje has been added as a speaker. We currently have $46,000 in door prizes to give away at the conference. Hentzenwerke Publishing is giving away free books to everyone registered for the conference.

Listen to FoxShow #66, in which Toni Feltman discusses her Lean/Agile and Pomodoro sessions.

Southwest Fox is changing venues to the SanTan Elegante Conference & Reception Center and Legado Hotel. Please see the Hotel page for details. If you have already registered at the Arizona Golf Resort, you will have to cancel your reservation and re-book at the Legado Hotel.

As if there wasn't enough incentive to register by July 1, DBi Technologies is offering a drawing for one of four licenses of Studio Controls for COM, a $749 value, for those who register by the early-bird deadline.

Your opportunity to save big on registration for Southwest Fox ends soon. Super-saver registration offers $125 off the price of the conference, and gives you one free half-day pre-conference session, for total savings of $224. In addition, you'll be eligible for drawings of three $150 scholarships, a copy of Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate with MSDN (a $11,899 value), and a license of Stonefield Query SDK (a $6,000 value). But hurry, because the super-saver offer expires on July 1.

Thanks to the generosity of the VFP community, we have enough money to bring two developers to Southwest Fox as 2010 Ceil Silver Ambassadors. Geek Gatherings is pleased to announce that César Chalom and Bernard Bout have been selected as the ambassadors for Brazil and Australia, respectively.
