Who's planning to attend NI-WEEK?

[Ray.R]

I'll be there, too.!

Actually, I do have a question for those of you that are going...

Are you bringing your spouse?  If so, let me know.  My wife is joining me.  She's willing to setup something to do in & around Austin while we attend NI week.

Just reply to this thread << I hope I didn't hi-jack it>>

Hi JLV,

I have no wife at the moment so... well...
But I remember a couple of year ago my mother went to Austin while my father was attending NI Week and I think NI does organize some visits for wifes, at least they did in the past.

From what I heard, the entertainment program (or whatever it was called) for spouses has been discontinued, even though my wife had a blast last year.

All that's left is the Expo Plus Pass (for $200) that includes meals, receptions, and events.

I should look into this.  Christian, is your wife going with you?

Sorry, no. 😞

She's going to Europe for several weeks later this summer. With our china trip this spring there are no vacation days left, it seems. 😉

For those that won't be able to attend NIWeek, stop by niweekblog.com and see what's new. This year I'm videoblogging. For those that make it on camera, let's make sure we all say hi to Ben.

Sorry to hear that you won't be down there Ben. I'm looking forward to meeting a lot of people that I have only "seen" here, like "tst" for one!  Of course, as my father, brother and sister, and nieces and nephews live in or near Austin I have double the reason to go. I don't think that my father will be attending this year, causing the confusion of the past. He and I have the same name, and the folks making name tags were a bit confused, not to mention when he went up to the NI engineer for my area to say hi. There was some confused looks, as the NI guy didn't know about my dad, but got concerned when he saw my name on someone else!
