2008

Our 2008 conference was in Savannah, Georgia, November 13,14, 15, and it was quite outstanding. The hotel was very nice and in a great part of town, the conference room was on the top floor and had a 270 degree view of the city, many excellent restaurants and interesting spots were within easy walking distance--and the A-Shell part was pretty good too. Here is info on the place we stayed, which is highly recommended if you're traveling to Savannah.

2006

The 2006 International A-Shell Developers' and Resellers' Conference was held in New Orleans November 9, 10 and 11. The seminars were conducted in a conference room at the Royal Saint Charles hotel, and most of the guests stayed at that establishment. The hotel is in an excellent location between downtown and the French Quarter, about eight blocks from the River. Besides three rather intense days of A-Shell technical discussions, highlights of the event included a dinner cruise up and down the River on a paddlewheel steamer, and lots of good food and drink on Bourbon Street and its immediate neighborhood.

 

2004

The 2004 A-Shell Developer and Reseller Conference was held October 27 - 29 in Deerfield Beach, Florida. Most of the major A-Shell resellers and developers attended, and we had a very productive couple days of A-Shell seminars. The A-Shell User Interface (AUI), A-Shell's system for managing and implementing a graphical user interface in BASIC programs running under A-Shell, was the major topic of conversation. Several developers who have begun "GUI-ifying" their applications gave presentations showing their accomplishments to date.

The weather was great, the company was interesting, as always, and we found time to have some fun as well as getting a lot accomplished. Thanks to all who came.

2002

The First Annual (definitely the first and we hope the annual) A-Shell Developers' and Resellers' Conference was held at the Huntley Radisson Hotel in Santa Monica (Los Angeles area), in mid-September 2002. It provided two full days of good food, good company, interesting discussions and lots of information about A-Shell. 

The conference was a mixture of tutorials, demos, and discussions about a variety of topics of interest to A-Shell developers and resellers. Some of the most interesting discussions were those that took place "off the agenda" during meals, breaks, drinks, etc., for which one simply had to be present in order to appreciate.
