Thanks to our generous speakers stepping up and shouldering some of the financial risks, additional sponsorship, and our hope that the community will respond with more registrations, we are announcing that Southwest Fox 2024 will go on as planned in-person and virtually September 26-29, 2024. That said, it is with heavy hearts that we announce this is the final in-person Southwest Fox conference that we are going to put on as it’s clear the economics no longer work. Our plan is to move forward with Virtual Fox Fests in the future.

This is your last chance to hang out with the Fox gang in Phoenix, so if you were thinking about attending sometime, this is the time.

A final reminder, the Early-Bird discount expires today, Wednesday, July 31sthttps://geekgatherings.com/Registration

Only 57 days until we gather in Scottsdale.

Only a couple of weeks until day 1 of the conference…

We know there are procrastinators who have not registered and have good intentions to do so before the conference starts. Please, please, please do so sooner than later. Our hard working registration staff of one is also a presenter who is practicing and refining his session, and an organizer, and has more than a full-time job working on customer projects. If you all wait until the week of the conference to register, let’s just say you might not get the credentials in time to see the first session on October 15th. It literally takes minutes to register.
.
We don’t want you to miss all the details about the conference we are sharing over the next couple of weeks. We want you to have a chance to read white papers and download the examples once we release them before the conference starts. We’d hate to see you miss the opportunity to get a head start on all the goodies. Go get registered! Now, really, don’t waste another minute. Here is the link one more time: https://geekgatherings.com/Registration
