Hi All,Although I could not attend the last conference, I want to publicly thank Avsim for organizing it.I hope to attend the next one, and after seeing the pictures, it sure looks like everyone had a great time.To be able to put together the vendors, the simmers, the locations, and the events takes quite a bit of effort and time that I as a member here appreciate.Several members took Photo's which are located at the following Links:Wade: http://community.webshots.com/album/93969328snFReRCameron: http://www.xplanefreeware.net/~cameron/avsim/Kenneth: http://www.avsim.com/pages/1003/confreport/pics_others/kw/Bob: http://www.avsim.com/pages/1003/confreport/pics_others/bj/Justin: http://portal.fsgenesis.net/modules.php?se...e=slideshow.phpMitch: http://www.mmorrell.com/avsim.htmlThe Official Conference Report can be found here:http://www.avsim.com/pages/1003/confreport/Here is the lowdown on the 2004 Conference which Avsim posted a couple of weeks ago. I am definately down for a YES on this one."AVSIM Announces 2004 Conference!Posted: Friday, October 24, 2003 - 23:26AVSIM Publisher and CEO, Tom Allensworth, today made the following announcement; "AVSIM is pleased to announce the venue for the 2004 Flight Simulation Exhibition and Conference; the United Airlines Training Facility, in Denver, Colorado. United Airlines has graciously invited AVSIM to utilize the facility for next year's conference, and AVSIM is pleased to say that our Board of Directors have overwhelmingly voted yes. UAL will provide access to its numerous full motion trainers, including the 747, 777, 767, 757 and of course, Airbus simulators. The hotel which will be our "home base" will be the Hilton DoubleTree, just across the street from the Training Facility. The exhibition and conference will be held on September 25th and 26th, with our Social on Friday night, the 24th. Many details need to be worked out, and we will be announcing those over the coming months. In the meantime, set your calendars, save your pennies, pounds, euros, whatever, and plan on being at the largest simulation event in 2004!" AVSIM will shortly open the 2004 Exhibition forum for discussion of the event. Stay tuned!"*************So in conclusion, when a lot of other sites claim to cater to members AVSIM goes out of their way to make us a community. :-)Thanks for the FAST downloads...Thanks for the FAST Forums...Thanks for the AWESOME File LIBRARY...Thanks for the BEST Flight Sim Staff on the Internet.

Joe, wow!... thanks for the kudos.. We do appreciate them! Just be advised that the conference dates for next year are th 16th, 17th and 18th of September.

Thaks for this forum posting! If it wasn't here, I wouldn't be able to find the conference report! I tried doing a search right from the AvSim home page, but came up with nothing. Also, to anyone from AvSim, I attended this conference and asked if the PowerPoint documents from the presenters would be available on this site. I was assured that the documents would be available, but have not found them as yet. Can you provide the addres for the files?Thanks in advance.

Howard, we will make them available , i just had no time yet to do that.As for link to conf report, that will be fixed. thanksMiroMiro MajcenChief Managing EditorAVSIM Onlinewww.avsim.com
