We’re disappointed to announce that due to COVID-19, the annual Southwest Fox Conference is on hiatus in 2020. It was a difficult decision knowing how much fun we have when we get together each year, but it was appropriate given the circumstances we have been dealt. We are going to return to Gilbert for some face-to-face learning October 14-17, 2021. More exciting news about a new Fox conference for 2020 in my next post.

We understand you’re probably not thinking much beyond the next few weeks or months, but we’re still planning Southwest Fox 2020 on the assumption that the current crisis will be over by November. In light of that, we’re extending the speaker submission deadline to Monday, April 13. If you have something to share with our developer community, read the Call for Speakers document and then use the Submission site to send us your session proposals. We look forward to your ideas.

Andrew Ross MacNeill, the host of
The FoxShow, interviewed each of the Southwest Fox organizers separately this year and talked to each of about how we got into computing, why we go to conferences and much more. The first two of the shows are available now.
We’ll let you know when Tamar’s interview is posted. Thanks, Andrew, as always for helping us spread the word about
Southwest Fox. Oh, and registration is open as well, you can secure your slot on the
conference registration site.
