MangoCon 2016 NYS
- 
 I figured you would like that. @jenuinecase and I have a meeting there at 10am Monday morning. Nothing like a almost 3 hour drive first thing on a Monday.

 @Minion-Queen said: 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.)

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.

Super easy way in and out for people living along the right corridors. 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.
