Vendors aren't willing to take part for under 100 (the ones we want to spend $$)
I do like the intimacy of a smaller show. The quality of conversations you have with people can have a lot of value in them. We had a meeting to day discussing our trade show/events for the coming year. Hopefully we can nail down the month at least so I can make sure it is reserved for the show.
So far it sounded positive that Waterford Tech will be there.
-
We are attempting to keep things small. 250 is our aim right now. I will have dates next week!
-
Smaller shows are good. I really like the 350 - 400 range.
-
Cost?
-
@anonymous That is dependant on the Venue. So once I have that I will let you know. Best guess Estimate at this point is around $200 a person. This will not include hotel costs.
-
@Minion-Queen any discounts for long term pests or most handsome forum members?
-
we might be able to talk about that
-
Have all the contracts in hand will be making a decision tomorrow!
-
Yea! Mangocon 2016! Just have to get my companies owner on board!!!
-
We will be talking about Agenda a bit tomorrow. Hopefully once Bosses see the level of training we will be providing...it won't be hard to talk them into paying
-
@Minion-Queen it shouldn't be. They like me ;)!!! I'm excited about going!
-
I'm excited. I know where the likely venue is to be and it is pretty cool. I think it is going to be a blast.
-
If it's still in the originally picked area (Cooperstown?) I can make that. It's a pretty short ride for me. (4 hours I think.)

No, that's not on the list anymore. Would be a great location, though. Nothing there big enough to hold the event at this point.
Rochester and Niagara Falls are the final short list.
-
Are you near the Amtrak line? The Rochester venues, which are far more numerous than the Niagara ones (the short list is a bunch of locations between the cities) are all right by the train station. Super easy way in and out for people living along the right corridors.
-
Bit further but still doable.

I live less than 5 minutes from the Trenton train station.
-
All the locations we are looking at have free shuttle service from both hotels and train stations.
-
Cooperstown was never on the list... People tried but didn't even make the list.

That was in my brain for some reason.
My knowledge of NY geography is just a tick below my knowledge of Microsoft licensing.
