Has anyone had any conversation about the date for the conference for 2013, and are we going to have a conference?

Gene,

I am sure Connie will jump in here but I've heard YES and possibly a bit earlier in June than what it was last year.

This might be a great place to start posting what things we would like have, see and do this year. With this being the 3rd year I have my vote for more in depth topics that are beyond the basics for advanced users.

I vote for somewhere around The Mid west! So I can come, and November works for me, too!

Sorry guys. Houston / clear lake area. Too many of us involved to travel.

Looking forward to the chance to come and meet everyone! Is it ok if I bring my puppy along? He's just a little guy (great dane, 37" tall and 160#) you won't even notice he is there LOL j/k. Sure I can get a puppy sitter.

OK, so yesterday we posted the date & location for the 2013 conference, then after 3 different conversations yesterday with the coordinator of the facility, she called us yesterday evening to say she was sorry, but those dates were NOT available. I was both livid and sick to my stomach.

So, my question is....How many of you that are planning to attend WOULD NOT come, if we did it on the Thursday, Friday and Saturday BEFORE Father's Day? Is having it on "Father's Day Weekend" a game changer?

Thanks

This could be a problem for those fying in. If the conference is all day Thursday, Friday and half Saturday
then they travel that afternoon, but they would have to travel on Wednesday to get there.
They could be traveling on Wednesday or Sunday depending on how many full days we have.
I personaly don't that problem since I'm only 4 hours away.
Just my thoughts.

Did I miss something in the thread? I do not have any dates except the post that says it will be the weekend before Father's Day.

What I would like to see is smaller groups. More hands on learning of different subjects. Like Perry only a short drive. Will be there as long as their nothing with the grands kids that conflicts.

We thought we had a date yesterday, but now we don't. My question was...Is having it leading up to Father's Day going to stop folks from attending?

No problem here with it being @ Fathers day, great timing maybe....gee Dad what would you like for Fathers Day!! :)

@ Perry, This would be the same schedule we had last year...

Father's Day weekend would not be a problem, besides what a great gift for Dad to be able to attend the conference and make purchases on that date.

Keep in mind the conference would not be ON Father's Day, but it will end the day before. For some, it may be a day of travel.

It's a 5 day trip for me no matter the date(s). Leaving hubby home and the daughters can take him out to dinner. But will be bringing a new member to introduce to everyone... the grandson who is trying to talk his grandmother out of one of her carving machines.

I see no problem with Fathers Day weekend and my better half (actually 3/4) thinks this would be an ideal Gift. Wed travel may work better than other days in that the airline discounts few as they are tend to be for Tue/Wed flights and require staying a Sat night. Put me in Coach!

Floyd,
Are you in charge of scheduling the after-hours seminars at the Cantina again? Sign me up for those too as I missed last year due to playing hurricane duty. That should mean I won't be senior on the rotation watch list this year.

Capt. we did sure miss you last year and looking forward to tipping a few with you this year. Now you know the fine folks at LHR were the ones planning all of the after hour seminars and last years will be hard to top!!

What is the cost of the conference this year? Need to put a plan together before I can say I could attend.

I have no problem with attending the conference if it is held just before Father's Day. I will be driving down anyway to Waco and this would work out great for my Wife and myself. I am looking forward to getting together with everyone again.
