Slot techs from across the continental United States joined the gaming industry's top engineers, technicians, technical writers and instructors for 3 days of technical seminars and presentations at TechFest 3.

The event was held at the Boardwalk Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Just dropping a quick note to thank you for the great training you did at Tech Fest 3.  My name is Larry Budreau. I am one of the techs from the Ojibwa Casino in Baraga, Michigan. It was the most useable info that I have gotten in 7 years as a slot tech and you did it in 3 days. 

We had a meeting today to discuss The TechFest. I think that I convinced the boss to send a few more of our techs to TechFest 4. I hope to convince him that I should attend also. By then I'll have some time to try out what you taught me. I figure if I let the smoke out of a few parts, I can attend and find out what didn't sink in! Besides that, I would like to be there for the JCM training. If I don't make it back, I would like to thank you again for the great class. 

Later,

Hi Randy, 

I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for Tech Fest 3. It was very informative, especially the monitor training.  I may end up sending some more of my techs to your classes, or maybe even see if we can bring you in for some on site training. I'll keep you up to date as I work out some of the details with our management.  Thanks again, and keep me informed of any new classes you may be conducting.

Hi Randy,

I just wanted to let you know, I had a blast at TechFest III, in Las
Vegas (August 14, 15 16). You are an excellent teacher. I learned
a lot from you in the class. The guest speakers were great too. I will be more confident on working on my in-house monitors, now that I went to TechFest III

Thanks again,
