Do you want to sponsor a door prize? - Continue Reading:

If you or your company want to sponsor the LAVA 2015 BBQ door prize, please post a reply below. You can also include a small blurb about your company and a link to your website in the post below. By donating a prize you and your company will receive a small announcement of your choosing, during the event. We will ask you to write the announcement on a post-it note and will attach it to the prize to be read before awarding it.

  • We would prefer a single item donation. If donating more than one item, then multiple identical items is preferred.
  • If donating non-tangible items or something that is not physically with you. Then please bring a card with your contact info and instructions on how to collect the prize. This will be given to the winner.
  • All prizes are acceptable except those listed below (examples from last year):

Not recommended:

  • Apparel (hats, t-shirts, underwear etc)
  • Branded “trade show booth” type giveaways (mouse pads, pens, keychains etc)
  • Software licenses (Toolkits, add-ons, Labview)
  • Jokes or something meant as a gag and not a real prize.

 

Hope to see you there! Chime in once you buy tickets to let everyone know you're coming.

I'll be there!  Looking forward to the BBQ again except for the ten block walk from the convention center in 100 Deg heat :yes:

Yeah it can be a bit of a hike.  You can look into sharing a cab?  Or those Pedi-cabs might be out by then, better tip them well cause it is up hill.

Protip: attend Challenge the Champions in the Tech Theatre during the Block Diagram party on Tuesday nite -- there, you will find dozens of people headed to the BBQ. I'll email the moderator of that event to make an announcement to help facilitate BBQ-goers find each other in order to share cabs or walk together in droves. See you there!

Can't wait for one of the most entertaining events of NIWeek.  The LabVIEW Tools Network team will again be donating a brand-new myRIO for the Door Prize again this year.

While we can't control google search results, I tired this. "Lava BBQ LabVIEW"

 

https://www.google.com/webhp?q=lava%20bbq%20labview#safe=off&q=lava+bbq+labview

 

And the first result was for the 2014 BBQ on the NI forums, where it has a link to the official announcement.

Which now directs to this page.  Still I'd love me some of that steak.
