I'm pleased to advise that the Soft Velocity Team this year will consist of Robert Zaunere, Bob Foreman, and Pierre Tremblay. They have worked feverishly to produce an all new Training Schedule this year to reflect the tremendous headway made on both the C7 and Clarion.NET products. The complete Trining Schedule is shown below. Of course as we get closer to the event, some of these topics or time slots may change slightly.
