HP Conference in Orange County CA - 9/20-21 Message #1 Posted by Guy Ball on 8 Sept 2003, 3:00 a.m. I have no connection to the organizers, but I just wanted to pass the word that this year's HP Handheld Conference will be held in Newport Beach, CA this year on Sat./Sun., Sept 20/21. This is the premiere HP calculator and handheld device users event held every year by a diehard collection of HP enthusiasts/volunteers. This year, HP itself will be there, talking about and showing off their newest calculators. For more information, visit their site at http://holyjoe.net/hhc2003/index.htm The event cost is probably going to be about $50 for the two days. Word has it that HP may even be footing the bill for the conference dinner on Sat.

Cal. & could have made a very economical trip of it . . . ) What should I watch for early info regarding next year's event?

Re: Earlier Warning Was Here Message #5 Posted by Paul Brogger on 8 Sept 2003, 7:47 p.m., in response to message #4 by Dan M Well, I guess I missed it . . . Thanks to those who've posted the announcements, and I'll keep my antennae up for similar posts in the future. (I suppose if I frequented a few more sites, I might be a bit better informed!)

HHC: financial aid? Message #6 Posted by Brandon Del Bel on 8 Sept 2003, 3:41 p.m., in response to message #1 by Guy Ball Man, I would really love to go to this, but the cost of the conference and a hotel room is rather prohibitive for a college student. *sigh*, I'll probably just suck it up and pay, but I at least want to check into all of my options. Let me know if there is any assistance available; thanks. Brandon Del Bel

Re: HHC: financial aid? Message #7 Posted by Guy Ball on 9 Sept 2003, 11:47 p.m., in response to message #6 by Brandon Del Bel Unfortunately the conference is paid for by a bunch of HP calculator users like you and me who just hope to break even. This is definitely not a high-powered, business type affair. No COMDEX here. Just a bunch of HP fanatics (and you know who you are) -- many who were there when the HP thing got started 30 years ago. I'm a newbie when it comes to this. So I look in awe at their continued efforts! Take a look at the type of presentations to get a good feel for the type of conference it will be: http://holyjoe.net/hhc2003/index.htm -- towards the bottom of the page.

Re: HHC: financial aid? Message #8 Posted by Brandon Del Bel on 10 Sept 2003, 12:30 a.m., in response to message #7 by Guy Ball yeah.. I just had to ask anyway; hopefully I'll be able to split a room with someone to cut costs.
