Use the Byte Craft booth as your meeting point :))

I agree with Andy it is a good show. It is the only show in
North America that is devoted entirely to the embedded systems
industry. The show has been developing some traditions ranging
from an opening night "oktober fest" on the show floor sponsored
by some of the exhibitors (including Byte Craft) and good parties
every night. Motorola is not to be outdone.  Lots of techie talk and
first peeks. The show runs twice a year with the west coast
show in San Jose at the end of September being quite international
and the much smaller east coast show a regional one.

If anyone needs exhibit passes send a message to
support@bytecraft.com and we will arrange for passes to be sent
to you. We have been extending our tool support for more member
famillies of the eight bit embedded world.  While you are there
drop in and say hello to us and take a look our new compilers
and tools.
