This appeared on AOL and I know many of you will be interested ========================================================================== A2-Central Summer Conference (aka KansasFest) Kansas City - Tuesday thru Sunday - July 16 - 21 ========================================================================== Join us again this year in Kansas City for the THIRD annual A2-Central Summer Conference. This year's conference has been expanded from our traditional two-day affair to six big days. ------------------ Tuesday & Wednesday ------------------ If you come for Tuesday and Wednesday's activities, you'll have your choice of one of three two-day colleges. One of these will be Apple's Apple IIgs College. Another will be an introduction to Pascal by Mike Westerfield, developer of the Orca series of development tools from The Byte Works. The third will be an introduction to C programming on the Apple IIgs, by Walker Archer and Gary Morrison. ---------------- Thursday & Friday ---------------- If you come for Thursday and Friday's activities, you'll get what we've traditionally offered at our summer conferences - two days packed with sessions about the Apple II. Apple itself will once again fully participate in this portion of our conference. A number of sessions will include engineers from Apple and Apple's Developer Technical Support team will once again be running a Bug-Busting room at the conference. Meet and discuss your problems with Apple's own gurus, including Lee Collings, Andy Stadler, Ron Lichty, Tim Swihart, Rob Barnes, Greg Branche, Dave Lyons, and Andy Nicholas. ---------------- Saturday & Sunday ---------------- And, at the vociferous request of previous attendees, if you come for Saturday and Sunday's activities, you'll spend your time at the Apple Central Expo, a two-day Applefest-type show sponored by Apple's Midwestern Region. Bigger and better than ever, this year's summer conference, including the Apple Central Expo, will be held at a state-of-the-art conference facility owned by the National Office Machine Dealer's Association (NOMDA) in Kansas City, Mo. This facility is with in a serial cable's length of Avila College, where our conference has been held in the past and where, once again, we'll be able to provide dormitory rooms and meals to those who want to have the best time possible meeting and learning from other developers. Make your plans to attend now. Whether you come for one day or six, we promise you'll enjoy the sessions you attend, the exhibits you'll see, and the people you'll meet. You must register by June 1 to get the best prices. We have more rooms available at Avila than ever before, consequently, this year we can offer private rooms. Or, if you prefer, choose double-occupancy and save some money. Avila's prices include evening and morning meals surrounding the nights of your stay. College and conference prices include lunch. Food will be an extra-cost option at the Apple Central Expo. If you like, you can pay for the sessions only and make your own hotel and transportation arrangements. Or you can eat and stay at Avila for $30 a night ($40 for a private room). And, for $25 more, we'll arrange to have you met at the airport and brought directly to Avila and returned. This final option would cover ALL your costs for the conference except airfare. ----------------------- Registration Information ----------------------- Tuesday & Wednesday CONF-GS Apple IIgs College CONF-P Pascal College CONF-C C College College of choice (lunch included) $150 ($175 after June 1) Thursday & Friday CONF Developer Conference (lunch included) $300 ($350 after June 1) Saturday & Sunday EXPO Apple Central Expo $10 ($10 after June 1) Accomodations AVILA-1 2 Meals, Private Room, per day $40 ($45 after June 1) AVILA-2 2 Meals, Double Room, per day $30 ($35 after June 1) TRANS Airport/Avila round trip $30 ($35 after June 1) For more info: Resource Central, Inc.
