Wow, I had no idea that was even a thing
the town I went to college in was a dry town. They finally reversed that my senior year.

I'm sticking with MangoCon. It's the name that's been cycling from the beginning, and it's catchy. If you're worried about people's connotation that it has something to do with fruit, take a gander at "Spice World" as a name. Does it have to do with the Spice Girls, or is it about cooking, or what? The last thing that would come to mind is an IT convention. You can't really do worse than that, yet that doesn't seem to have hampered its success.

Actually just last week someone lept to the conclusion that I worked as a spice trader (cinnamon, pepper, whatever...) and didn't even ask me what I did, they were so convinced that that must be my profession.
-
I actually get the Spice Girls thing more often than anything IT or spice related.

I disagree. Immediately my old boss leapt to spice girls, There is a negative connotation with the name, IT guys have a hard enough time getting stuff without having to explain why their conference has a wacky name.

@scottalanmiller The spice must flow!

Could do something really silly or obnoxious, like write out "MANGO LASSI IT CONFERENCE" all in binary or hex - Imagine the banners for that baby!
WELCOME TO THE 0x004d0x00410x004e0x00470x004f0x004c0x00410x00530x00530x0049 IT CONFERENCE!
Badges would be epic

This is why a more meaningful name is a good thing - perception is reality.

Sadly I'm sure United Airlines would find a way to shut it down, even though it has nothing to do with flying.

Like the airlines.

What would we do without the corporates and their legion of lawyers.
Can't we all just get along...

@Breffni-Potter Nope! You have offended me! You'll be hearing from my lawyer!
