Bolder Software will be in attendance again this year, we're looking forward to it! Traditionally, we like to encourage creativity as much as the technical appetite of this audience. Our door prize will be the LEAP Motion Controller:

Also, if we can get it done by next week, we're hoping to bring something edible for everyone. (Not that kind, just some sugar cookies!)

For the 2015 LAVA BBQ, Delacor have teamed up with author, friend of Delacor and all round outstanding guy; Steve Watts at SSDC to offer a truly unique door prize.

 

Steve has kindly signed a copy of his book "A Software Engineering Approach to LabVIEW" but not only that. Steve has included the draft / amended pages that would have gone into any potential future second edition of his book. These are the only copies of these pages anywhere in the world and you as a LAVA member can have a chance to win them (and the signed book itself)

This year, STUDIO BODs joins the LAVA BBQ again.

 

The door prize we offer this year is Time, but we all know time is money!
We will give 1000 LabVIEW custom Boolean controls (6-states) created with pictures and colors schemes of your choice.
Let’s say it takes 2 minutes to create a LV custom Boolean control, and you have an intern doing them (25$/h), this door prize will save you more than 800$!
You will have 18 months to generate your 1000 buttons with LV Button, by STUDIO BODs

See ya all at NI Week!

I'm in

I will be sure to record it for those that can't make it this year.

 

I'll be at NI Week but obviously can't attend all the sessions I'd like to attend. Do you already know which sessions you are going to record? That way I guess I can attend the ones you don't record and watch the other ones after the NI Week. Is that a wise strategy?

 

Thanks!

Sorta.  Mark does this out of the kindness of his heart, and his enthusiasm for the community.  Things happen and he might not be able to record a session, or the camera might break, or a presenter might ask him not to.  There are reasons Mark might not be able to record and upload the sessions and I think having him publicly state which sessions he is going to attend might be unfair to him.

 

That being said I sure hope Mark is able to record some of the sessions I can't go to.  As usual there are a bit too many I want to go to on Thursday, and other days are lighter.

 

If you do meet Mark, be sure and buy him a beer at the BBQ or some other event, he deserves it.

Makes total sense. Thank you Mark no matter what!  :worshippy:

 

I'm also planning to pass my CLD, so I need to remove even more sessions in my list, tricky tricky tricky...

      NI Week 2017 is about 10 weeks away - seems odd saying that in March.
