We delayed the Con last fall with the intention of rescheduling it to this June. Our goal with this Con is to make it accessible as possible by keeping it very affordable for people to attend. We wanted to do away with the general registration fee so that anybody could come by without having to pay a registration fee. Things traditionally covered by the registration fee such as internet connection, t-shirts, hats, etc. would be shifted to ala carte pricing. We also would need a local hotel with a very affordable room rate.
Unfortunately, it has proven difficult to find a place that meets our criteria. We had surpassed our deadline to find a place and still had not come up with anything suitable. We were ready to push it back to the fall when Coach did some checking for us through his contacts and came up with a good location.
However, we are now at the minimum amount of lead time needed to continue in June. Otherwise our option is to push it back to the fall. Our tentative plan is to hold the Con June 22-25 close to the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport.
We'd like to hear from those planning to attend the con this year if you prefer this date or would rather move it back to the fall. Please respond to this thread with your preference if you are interested in attending the Con this year.
