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

If you or your company want to sponsor a 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 love the door prizes, but we love time for socializing too.  Here are some guidelines to keep our event balanced and streamlined.

• We would prefer a single item donation. If donating more than one item, then multiple identical items is strongly preferred.
• So we don't spend our time on a flood of refrigerator magnets, please donate something valued at $25 or more.
• 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.

Jeremy,

You guys might want to update where lavag.org/bbq directs too, because people might be going to that link looking for details on the bbq.

I am so excited about this, cannot wait to NI Week!

Hi everyone,

I tried to register this morning without success  I got the following message :  "Processing is slower than usual. Please do not close this window". I gave up after 15 min.

Anybody came across this issue ?

Thanks,

[Antoine Chalons]

worked fine for me. I'm in.

Hey Jeremy,

Tried from home, it worked. I'll be there

Yeah there were some complications internally.  Be sure and thank Jeremy with a selection of adult beverages throughout the week, he deserves it.

Just got my ticket, I actually remembered to buy it ahead of time this year (although I was still too slow for the early bird pricing so there is room for improvement next year).

[JeremyMarquis]

Don't forget the door prizes!

G Systems will be donating a MakeBlock open source Arduino robot:

     

Be sure to find Filipe and ask him about getting the Arduino compiler for LabVIEW and take this thing to the next level.
