I don't know if this is the first one but if not do any one have any pics or feedback from past hostingcon?

Thanks

This is the first HostingCon. There were no HostingCons in the past years.

As gghosting said, this is the first time HostingCon has been held. I will say, however, that we'll have a lot of really good pictures AFTER the event. :)

one more question, how many visitors are waiting on Hostingcon 2005?

We're anticipating 600-750 attendees.

I wish it were more, you'd think having your own forum section here would churn out some more sign ups.

600-750 attendees is actually a pretty good number for the first year. We hope to grow in coming years, but even then we want to keep it at a manageble size.

Thinking about it 600-750 people would be better than something like 1000-2000 with the convention floor packed and busy everywhere.

600-750's gonna look busy ;)

Everyone harrass Sirtwist to post the pics we shot of the hotel the other day..
We were there meeting with all the important figures and took some shots of the mezzanine which has the bars and restaurants but also alot of sitting areas, several of them couch and chair combo's with coffee table centers but also alot of secluded table and chair setups along two opposing walls which will be great for small gatherings/meetings..
He shot the pics from his phone but they should look decent still to give yall an idea of what to expect.. Mouse

Hi DaWiseMouse, do you have those pics? any link where we can take a look?

The pictures I took the other day are available on the HostingCon 2005 Blog at http://www.hostingcon.com/blog/.

Enjoy. :)

I eager to be there. I couldn't access the website today, but I hope I will be able to see the pictures tomorrow :)
