2005 Excel User Conference  -  Stockyards Hotel 
Ft. Worth, Texas  -  September 19/20th 2005






Well, the first Excel User Conference has come and gone. Overall consensus was very positive. Knowledge shared will be used by all in attendance to increase their productivity. In addition, the conference should help each person design more robust and structured spreadsheets. The presenters offered a good mix of the different aspects of Excel.

Stockyards, in Ft. Worth was an excellent location for the event. This was especially true for the attendees who traveled there from outside the US. We were all treated to Texas hospitality mixed in with the old west environment. Within walking distance was a variety of dining and entertainment choices, including the renowned Billy Bob's Texas. During the day, there was a cattle drive through the streets. At night there was a rodeo in the coliseum. Made for a very unique location for us Excel-lers.

The event began on Thursday with a get acquainted dinner at Joe T. Garcia's. Most of the attendees interacted online in the various Excel forums. It was quite an experience to meet people that you have known for many years, but only through their posts asking and answering online questions.

Friday and Saturday sessions were filled with lots of Excel and Friday Humor. The evenings were filled with good food, great stories from around the world and Friday Humor.
