Virtual Fox Fest 2024 is on Wednesday, May 8, 2024, which is less than three weeks from now! We are getting close, and the preparations are in full swing.
Ready to sign up? Just click https://geekgatherings.com/Registration.
Speaking of getting close, the Geek Gatherings YouTube Channel is closing in on 1000 subscribers and we would love to leap far over this milestone. Please subscribe and check the notification bell so you can be one of the first to learn when we release the videos from last year’s Southwest Fox. The channel has over 60 videos with session content from all the Virtual Fox Fest conferences over the last four years. That is over 75 hours of viewing. Here is a link to a session from 2022:

Only 19 days until we gather via the Internet.
We have good news to share today. Thanks to the support of the Visual FoxPro community and our many sponsors, Southwest Fox 2023 will proceed as planned October 19-22, 2023 in Scottsdale, AZ and online via Hopin (now owned by RingCentral).
We really appreciate all the support people have shown for the conference with registrations! That said, the decision comes with a calculated risk because we are still many registrations short of covering all the conference expenses. Please continue to spread the word to your colleagues, clients, user groups and anywhere else Visual FoxPro is spoken.
If you haven’t yet registered, there’s still room for you: https://geekgatherings.com/Registration.
If you’ve already registered for the in-person conference, you’ll receive a confirmation email soon that includes a link for our discounted hotel rate.
We are pleased to announce Geekwear by Geek Gatherings. Order your Southwest Fox gear from https://geekgatherings.logosoftwear.com/. Choose from the options shown or create your own unique SWFox-wear.
Only 43 days until we gather in Scottsdale and online via Hopin.
SET URGENT ON
WILL SOUTHWEST FOX 2023 TAKE PLACE? THAT DEPENDS ON YOU.
We have to decide by August 31 whether to hold Southwest Fox 2023 or not. So far, registration for both the in-person and virtual conferences has been slow. We have three options: a hybrid conference as planned, a virtual conference only, or no conference. If you want us to decide to hold the conference, register (for either the in-person or virtual event) before August 30. Credit cards will not be charged until September. If you are registering for the in-person conference, DO NOT book travel until you hear our decision.

XSharp Free Post-Conference Session
The XSharp Team is planning a Sunday afternoon (10/22) vendor session called “Migrating Your VFP App to .NET with X#.” Check out our Workshops page for all the up-to-date details.
If you’ve already registered for the conference and want to attend this session, email register@geekgatherings.com and we’ll add you to the post-conference list.
Only 64 days until we hope to gather in Scottsdale!
Hear that sound? Tick, tick, tick, tick…
That’s the countdown clock here at Geek Gatherings getting closer to the Super-saver deadline for Southwest Fox! July 31st is next Monday and we thought we would pass along one more reminder just in case you forgot to add it your reminder list or put a yellow sticky note on your monitor. We still need people to register to make the in-person side of the conference happen.
Urgent: do not make plane reservations until we announce the decision for the in-person conference, which we expect to make in the coming weeks.
The conference takes place October 19-22, 2023 in Scottsdale, Arizona and we really hope you can be there. We would hate to see you lose out on the $100 discount and for those who really want to attend in-person, miss out on a spot in the first 50 registrations (the room limit we have for the conference space).
Head over to the registration Web site today: https://geekgatherings.com/Registration
If you’ve already registered, we thank you. Can you help us remind fellow developers who have been procrastinating about the looming deadline by sharing this email, sharing about it on social media, or posting on a forum how great a previous Southwest Fox or Virtual Fox Fest conference was for you? You can also spread the word by telling others you’re going on our Facebook event.

We appreciate all the support people have shown for the in-person conference with early registrations. We look forward to getting many more this week as we need them to make the “in-person go” decision; otherwise, we will be all virtual. If you’re planning to attend the virtual conference, please register now as it helps in our decision-making process.
