HHC conferences Message #8 Posted by Eric Smith on 2 Apr 2006, 5:19 p.m., in response to message #7 by PeterP
Everyone interested in handheld computation products (HP and others) is welcome to the HHC conferences, regardless of their level of expertise. We are not elitists! There are usually presentations covering a wide range of subjects, so all attendees should get something out of it. And although the presentations are great, I think the general camraderie is even better. It's great getting to meet in person people that I otherwise only communicate with over the internet (not that there's anything wrong with that!).
We have the conference almost every year, most commonly in mid-September. I've been attending since 1995, but they started in 1979. The location moves around, and hasn't yet been determined for this year, although several possibilities have been discussed. The main criteria are generally that the location be convenient for travellers, including those from abroad, and that there are local people to host it.
Every five years or so, the conference is in London hosted by HPCC; the next one is likely to be in 2007. Other years, HPCC has a "mini-conference".
Videotapes and DVDs of past PPC/CHHU/HHC conferences are available from Jake Schwartz.
