HostingCon 2014 - Who's going?

[AMDbuilder]

If you don't already know hostingcon 2014 will be taking place in Miami later this month (June 16-18).

I'm planning to attend this year, and was wondering if anyone else had similar plans (Exhibits Only or Full Con)?  It's a decent excuse to get out of the office for a little and meet with other pale individuals with similar interests.  Who knows there could even be some fun new toys for us to check out?

I'd like to come down and throw back some brews and hangout with some industry dudes, but it's quite unlikely I'll go. I'd go if it wasn't for the cost of entering probably. Kind of pointless to pay that much just to meander around unless I am repping something. Maybe next year I'll get some vpsB t-shirts and stickers and be giving them out? "Take a shot of whiskey with MannDude for a free t-shirt!"

I wouldn't mind going back to Florida though, the two times I've been it was raining and storming both times. Had a flight take off in the cross winds of a tropical storm once and that was pretty scary, though not as scary as meeting @KMyers in a dark hotel parking lot... Haha.

Welcome to Florida

In Orlando there will be thunderstorm everyday, typically around 2-3PM, it'll rain just long enough for you to buy an overpriced Disney poncho and then it will stop.  I kind of miss it.. At least it's warm rain

You make it sound dirty.  You know you loved it.

Sounds like the title for one of your 'special' links tbh.

Is hostingcon really worth it. I mean I guess the networking is great but I feel like its probably just a bunch of advertisers advertising to one another.

I think you'd have better luck there if you had a table advertising a service that other hosting companies would utilize. I can't imagine regular hosting companies who provide services to regular end-users would be there hoping to gain business from normal folk.

We won't be going due to other security and tech conferences going on around that time.

But it is cool to see something so big in our home state.

Perhaps next year, I am sure the networking would be great. Unfortunately I will be in another part of Florida during this time. To see people usually behind the ticket and phones would be fun.

I also be there...

We will be attending as well
