Since I haven't seen anything... Who's up for our annual Sunday evening gathering at The Gingerman?

Am I the last person on Earth to realize that NIWeek is moving to May in 2017?!? Clueless Cat

We recorded all JKI presentations and have made them available online.

Hello all. So NI is trying something new this year for NI Week. Year after year NI gets feedback from those that attend NI Week and one of the most common things people ask for is more technical sessions. We don't care too much for a marketing presentation telling us how your company is awesome, and we don't really need NI to tell us about some new hardware we'll never use. But coming back from NI Week with new technologies that excite me and make my job get done better, makes my boss want to send me next year. So as a way for NI Week to get more technical, NI has dedicated a room at NI Week to advanced users to give presentations on advanced topics, allowing them to make up their own Advanced Users. This track will be in addition to the other tracks NI usually has for various industries, like aerospace, and automotive. These presentations will be given by advanced developers who are LabVIEW Champions and will focus less on marketing and more on being technical, sorta similar to what you'll see at a CLD/CLA Summit. So checkout Room 15 Tuesday and Wednesday for the advanced awesomeness, you should expect lots of hearty frank group discussions. It seems not all of the topics are posted by NI yet, but here are just some of them. And yes for a bit of self promotion I am giving an updated presentation on XNodes that I gave earlier this year.

NI week 2016 is around the corner and this another reason I am excited to attend this year. NI announced the finalist for the LabVIEW Tools Network Product of the year and DQMH made the list. Check out the list of finalists here: https://decibel.ni.com/content/groups/labview-add-on-dev-center/blog/2016/06/20/announcing-2016-award-finalists-and-25-year-honorees See you at NI Week 2016 Fab

Howdy! It's getting close.... NIWeek 2014 is almost upon us! To celebrate I put together a video for the LabvIEW Coding Challenge (linked below). To qualify for a chance to go up against Darren, visit the LabVIEW Coding Challenge in the LabVIEW Zone of the expo floor and test your skills. The two fastest coders will go head to head for a chance to go up against Darren, the world's fastest LabVIEW coder! The competition is at high noon on Thursday, August 7. I've personally written the questions and this year will be entertaining and fun.... I guarantee it. Darren's Coding Challenge Chris Cilino Certified LabVIEW Architect

Just found out about this "NIWeek tradition" https://www.facebook.com/events/678470302167587/

Hey everyone, I'm very excited to let all NIWeek attendees know about a new podcast series I started in collaboration with NI. Aptly named the NIWeek Conference Podcast, you can listen to the first episode here. We'll be releasing one episode per week, to the run-up to August.

During a presentation at NI Week, sorry can't remember which one exactly, the presenter suggested that the "Mark Balla Tool" was a great piece of IDE support code to have. This code was a utility VI or VIs that was said to be available on the code repository. I can't seem to find it. Can anyone point me in the correct direction? Thanks WireWarrior

Hi All, We're exhibiting for the first time at NIWeek next week and want to get any feedback from using the lead retrieval system offered to exhibitors. We've used lead retrieval at previous trade shows and it's been very successful, though I wonder about this vendor, about foot traffic and leads generated at NIWeek, and so on. I wonder if other past exhibitors have had good or bad experience specifically at NIWeek. Obviously, there's a different ROI depending on your services, but general feedback would be appreciated. I've attached the details about the vendor (LeadAdvance powered by ActiveEvents). LeadAdvance_BB_2012.pdf Thanks so much! Brian Spears Sixclear
