    We've signed up as media sponsors again this year, we have our logo on the main page just like last year and we've been given some VIP's for you guys. Please do not post this info in other forums, this is for the Admin Talk @Contributors only...

    Oh nevermind, I thought we have unlimited..lol
    We have 6 VIP's right now and we can get more if people are interested.

    We also have 20% off ticket prices for everyone, I'll post a thread in public about that.. Here is the code if you want to grab one now.
    There are 5 weeks until Forumcon.

    Not that I'm going, but wtf is a "VIP" for ForumCon anyway? Does it mean you get an extra special pitch session from Viglink?

    I wonder if IB is going to show up again to try and market vB5. That could liven up the show for sure.

    Awesome, I'll send you the info

    to everyone else, it looks like we'll have 15 tickets total but can get more if needed.
    So after @maksim we'll have 14 left.


    Free formcon tickets anyone! :)

    oh @maksim I need to ask their rep one thing, but you do have 1 free ticket, I'll get back to you asap

    If I were in the US and specifically wherever this is being held, I'd be in. But I'm in Asia and will be returning to the UK in two days time! :D Hope you guys have fun there! :)

    I think it would be interesting to attend, unfortunately the expense is not worth the potential return (for me), so I'll await the feedback here, from the attendees.

    I sent the info off for @maksim

    It looks like we'll have as many as we want at this point, it's been set to 20.

    I'm going to move this to the public forums to see if anyone else can make it.

    I'd totally take you up on this @Brandon - but I'm in the UK and I doubt I can get a flight / passport, etc.

    Peter - I am officially daring you to come to FoumCon! and enjoy yourself!;) Have you taken a look at the agenda and speaker line up for this year? I know you weren't able to attend last year but a lot has changed.

    So go on... why not take up the offer of a free ticket, attend the day and drinks on me at the end as long as you promise to give me full informed feedback. You never know you might help make next year even better and even have a good time.... :P

    Mikey & echo_unlimited you never know where it might be next year... :) We will be covering it all via our social media channels and we will get footage of the sessions up as soon as we can turn them around!

    I have seen the agenda, and it is still almost all Viglink and a select group of friends. I don't have anything against Viglink, I think the service they provide is a great thing and it works for countless forums.

    But, why should I travel all the way across the country to hear about Viglink, and its friends like Huddler, Say Media, etc. I already know what Viglink does, I already know about Huddler, and so on.

    I like the concept of the "speed dating" thing, as it would give the opportunity to everyone to meet people we otherwise wouldn't have met. I'd like to see more stuff like that, not just a half-hour in the morning.

    There was one person on the agenda that I'd listen to, Vlad, but the thing is that I've known him for a number of years already and probably know more about him and his site than he'd ever disclose in public anyway.

    I think you really just need to break out of the Viglink clique if you want ForumCon to gain mass appeal. Do something radical, like not let any of this event's speakers do a presentation at the next ForumCon. Heck, don't even let anybody who represents the same company as the current speakers do a presentation again. Really shake it up.
