You may be able to attend, but in order to purchase a bundle you must be a 'system developer' for some sort of company and have a company email.

IIRC sometimes it was checked and sometimes it wasn't. I think it asked for a company email as well as company name, job description, etc.

I'm so used to it being "St. Louis" missouri, I never figured they'd put something nearby that wasn't Microsoft Only, lol.

Two years in a row that they skipped out on us here in MI.

Hopefully they will add dates but they didn't last year, and I just don't see it hapening at all.

Link? Doesn't look promising for the Midwest, one stop in Illinois... We do use computers here.

Guess no link unless you are signed up for the newsletter? :(

I'm in OH and can say the same thing. Closest one would be a 6 hour drive, and that ain't happening.

The first and only one I went to was in 2003, and I didn't walk away with anything but a T-shirt that everyone got, but I learned a surprising amount about processors in general, and then more about AMD processors that I'm happy I went.

Darn it, I missed last years event and I am gonna be out of town for this years event in IL.

edit: I think I might be able to make it to the City of Industry, CA event if the bundle is worth the trip. :)

thescreensavers,

If you've read, it hasn't been stated yet. Next week AMD should provide more details.
