Ark-La-Tex Technology Expo

[wharp]

There is supposed to be a computer fair in Shreveport/Northwest Louisiana but I haven't been able to find out anything about it. The only thing I've seen is on the now defunct http://www.computersheaux.org/

Does anybody know anything about this show or where we might find more information? It sounds like an event we should try doing a booth at.

The computersheaux is in the Bossier City Civic Center. Here is info off Civic Center Web calendar. Looks like they have booked the hall for March 22. I'll post more info as I get it, I live in the Shreveport-Bossier area. This might be a f2f before the Hamfest.

That's awesome, thanks!

While I don't think we want to try doing an additional booth, I might see about stopping by to scope it out for next year and maybe hand out some materials if we've got any together by then.

I do plan to contact them to ask about pricing information, etc. just to have the information on hand.

Would anybody else would be able to make it?

Is it going to be yearly instead of monthly this time?

[wharp]

I thought it was quarterly before? Not that I ever went. I do seem to recall something about it being yearly, but I'm not certain.

I have just learned that the Computersheaux will not be held on March 22. I got my info from the Computersheaux webmaster. Seems they could not pull it together due to the lack of vendors. I think they are still working to reopen, however not date has been set.

Might I suggest they get a website. There's no presence for the show so its harder for people to find out what's going on.
