And the question is, What do you want to do? I might be able to arrange a small party and transportation for some people if you are interested. If there is something on the list that you might want to do that is not on the list I can arrange a party for that, too. Some ideas are the Biosphere, Old Tucson studios, Tombstone, Kartchner Caverns, and even Mexico. Most of them are just a couple fo hours away. I think that the farthest thing is three hours away. There is a lot of stuff to do here, so it could be a fun trip if you are not really interested in the classes.

Is this show worth going to? As a vendor or as a user?

Scott is right. AZ is a very beautiful state. We were their a couple months ago and I was very much impressed with the "things to do".

The sunsets in AZ are second to none!!

PWNA puts on a nice event. We have been to several, and have learned something at each one. Personally, I think it is worth doing at least once, but you have to immerse yourself don't just sit in the classes and keep to yourself. Talk, talk, talk, network, pick brains, and absorb.

Looks like there are quite a few specialty events coming up in 07, depending on the market you serve. Check the Industry News and Events forum.
