We are happy to announce that we have secured our location for Next Wave 2009.

Next Wave 2009

Were: Fort Worth Botanic Garden
3220 Botanic Garden Blvd.
Ft. Worth, TX 76107
When: Saturday, January 24th 2009
Food: Lunch provided by Coburn's Catering

For this event, we will have access to two rooms. Presentations by speakers will be given in the Lecture Hall. Our lunch and vendors will be located in the Oak Hall. You can view the rooms here on their website.

We should have much more room than last year. We are planning on providing four speakers at this event and more vendors than last year. Expect a bigger raffle.....yes I said raffle. We are going to put more effort into this event than 2008 so expect big things to come. This thread will be updated as the event nears and we confirm speakers and vendors.

The Board of Directors would like to thank all those involved on the Event Committee for helping us narrow down our location for Next Wave 2009.
