LabVIEW Developer Education Day

[Highland_Controls]

I was wondering if any experienced users have attended one of these and found them worthwhile.  I will be taking the CLD in the near future, and it looks like this might be something to help with that.  A bit of a drive for me to the nearest one, so just wondering if I should do it.

I attended one two weeks ago.  I found it very worthwhile, especially as it was oriented toward certification preparation.  In addition to all the local NI field personnel two people from Austin were present.  The presentations were fairly consistently at a high level. It definitely did not have the feel of a sales pitch - which sometimes happens at other events.

NI bought lunch, and some nice discounts for future training or certification were available.

To reiterate, definitely worth it for the coupons and the stuff they discuss is also worthwhile. The ones we have in Dallas usually have a couple presentations going on at once for different skill levels. So, you can find the ones that suit you best.

Definitely worth the time to attend one of these.  The cert prep materials are great.  Presenters are very knowledgeble, often from Austin and involved in NI R&D.

I find them to be useful. No matter your level of experince you can always learn something new. It is also a good opportunity to meet up with other developers in your area.

They are usually worth going.  I almost always came out of them with a page full of ideas.  Unfortunately, some idiot schedules my local one over the CLA Summit, so I am stuck letting Lynn tell me all about it.

For a small fee, I will share my notes  .

I also just gave payment.

For those who care, I managed to find PDFs of the presentations here:http://us.ni.com/events/labview-developer-education-day/presentations?espuid=CNATL000012127427
