In contrast to all our DevCons so far, the 2005 Conference begins on Thursday, November 10th, and finishes on Saturday, November 12th. The Saturday is a complete and unabridged, fully valid conference day! This year, three-day visitors can thus save one day of their regular working week. Last year more than a few participants asked us about a way to better reconcile one's usual weekly workload with attending the Developers Conference. The Thursday-to-Saturday scheme takes a step to fulfill this widespread wish. Apart from this, the attendees can take advantage of lower hotel prices.

The German Visual FoxPro Developer Conferences takes place 12th time – therefore instead of increasing the number of available sessions even more we decided to reduce the overall cost for attendance by a first time special hotel room discount for attendees!

To reduce the cost of attendance we offer various discounts for early-birds, usergroup-members, usergroup-leaders, multiple attendees and alumnis as well as for co-orders of Visual FoxPro and Visual Extend.

The event takes place at the

International Speakers present in different sessions the new world of Visual FoxPro 9.0. On all three days of the conference you can choose between different English session in every row of the session plan.
