Hey, just think though. If this one could be proven true, it just might give all those Access & VB folks a good excuse to finally find out what VFP is all about. Heck, if we could get someone like the Neville Bros. to show up, we might even be able to get C++ programmers to come to this one.

Stay tuned and "no flipping" for further announcements.

I don't think that you'll see too many years of 2 devcons though. But besides this one being in NO as a selling point, being able to choose from VFP or SQL Server topics will make it well worth the price.
