Each year some of our members attend the Southwest Computer Conference. (See TheSWCC.org).

The 15th annual conference begins on Friday afternoon, May 30, 2008 and continues through Sunday, June 1 at the Town and Country Resort & Convention Center in San Diego.

Leadership Workshops
Vendor Tech Sessions
Vendor Presentations
Meals
Vendor Expo
Hospitality Suite
Door Prize Drawings
Networking
T-shirts and Welcome Bags

All this and more at the SWCC.

You will have an opportunity to network with computer club leaders and members who have similar interests: share ideas and experiences as well as solutions to problems. Bring your meeting calendar to schedule meetings; you will have the chance to meet and talk with vendors.

The conference registration fee is $60 per person, if postmarked by May 1. If your registration is postmarked by May 15, the fee is $75; May 16 through the conference date, the fee is $100.

Your conference registration fee includes admittance to all workshops and tech sessions, the Vendor Expo, meals, vendor presentations, a Welcome Bag and T-shirt, and a chance to win door prizes featuring some of the latest and greatest technology products.

To ensure that attendees receive their choice of T-shirt size, registration must be received by May 1. Attendees registering after that date will receive an XL T-shirt.

Here is the fillable registration form.

The conference will be held at the
Town and Country Resort & Convention Center
500 Hotel Circle North
San Diego

Town and Country is offering attendees a special group rate of $119.00, single or double occupancy. To make your reservation, please call their toll-free reservation number, 800-77-ATLAS, by May 1 and identify yourself as attending the Southwest Computer Conference. Here is more information about the hotel, including places to visit in San Diego.

The Conference rate is available from May 22 through June 6, 2008, on a space-available basis. Bring the family - plan a vacation over the Memorial Day weekend and end it with the Conference.

Stay at the host hotel and you are automatically entered into a drawing to receive one of your conference nights FREE.

All conference attendees are invited to enter the Digital Photo contest. Any user group with at least one member in attendance at the Conference may also enter their Digital Photo Contest 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners. Here are the contest guidelines, including places to visit in San Diego.

Attendees do not need to belong to a user group -- bring a friend. Maybe attending the conference will entice them to join your group.

For further information, or if you are interested in carpooling from the Phoenix area or sharing a room, contact Judy Taylour.

If you are coming from the LA or Orange County areas, think about taking the train. You get off in San Diego, walk a very short distance and take the trolley that stops at the back of the Town and Country (you do have to take two trolleys). Just walk across the street and through the hotel's back parking lot and then call for a cart to take you to the front of the hotel to register.

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please feel free to email the webmaster.
