Session proposals are due by <strong>March 9<\/strong>.  (Yes, this is earlier than in prior years. We have some publicity plans  that require us to have a little more lead time than in the past.)<\/p>\n<p>As  in the past few years, we plan to offer a good selection of topics in  core VFP development, extending VFP, using VFP with other technologies,  and VFPX, as well as technology sessions to help VFP developers become  better developers, not just more expert at VFP. We are looking for a few  sessions on paths forward for VFP developers and we\u2019re looking for a  few deep-dive post-conference sessions.<\/p>\n<p>For Southwest Xbase++, this year\u2019s sessions should primarily focus on Xbase++ 2.0. We are especially interested in your experience with features such as Universal-SQL and Single or Multi touch UI development with 2.0. If you are involved in Web application development, we want to hear about how to get most out of WebHandlers and WebSockets with 2.0.<\/p>\n<p>For both conferences, the Call for Speakers also lists  some topics last year\u2019s attendees specifically requested.<\/p>\n<p>Please  don\u2019t hesitate to ask if you have any questions. We\u2019re looking forward  to seeing your proposals. We expect that, as usual, choosing among them  will be one of the hardest things we do all year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re inviting anyone interesting in speaking at this year\u2019s conferences to submit topics.
