I've just started looking into the flight costs. I went to www.flightcentre.com.au for the pricing. There could be others.

I'm looking at Qantas, Brisbane to Vegas for $2988 return. That's including "charges/taxes" too.• WLVPN.com • NetProtect owned White Label VPN provider •

Yep, sounds good.
One stop in LA too, although I might fly return from LA, as I want to hang out in LA for a week or so.• WLVPN.com • NetProtect owned White Label VPN provider •

Will be good to have you there this year, Bob. At least you will help us boost the non-US demographics
Hey Matt, we need to actually catch up this year. Seemed we kind of missed each other last year
Any idea when conference registration opens? I am wanting to book our flights as soon as possible, but I don't want to do that until everything surrounding the conference is fully confirmed.
I am considering just going for exhibit hall only passes this year. Most of the benefit we gained from HostingCon occurred at dinner etc. outside of the actual conference. In my opinion most of the conference sessions were a waste of time, as they didn't really tell me anything I didn't already know. The keynotes were interesting though and the exhibit hall only pass seems to get you into those anyway.

* Ability to change address/contact info (so that exhibitors you swipe your badge with have the correct info)
* Ability to save notes on things like exhibitors and conference sessions, which you can then print out to take with you. In other words, as you're surfing through the site you might come across an exhibitor or session you want to make notes about, remind yourself to ask something, etc. You can jot it into a notes field on the page and then go to your main account screen and get a page with all those notes on it so you can print it out.
* Possibly the ability to do some type of pre-conference contact with exhibitors and possibly other attendees. There would be an opt-in capability to make yourself "available" for other attendees to contact. This would allow you to set up meetings before you even arrive.

I will say that we're making a concerted effort to make sure that our conference program has even better content this year. I think you'll see as we start to get our session information up on the site that the program is a little different this year.

I'll be there, flying over from Brisbane.
Not sure if I will be going to the show first then to my place in Arkansas and to Atlanta to visit my servers or vice a versa and hit the show on the way out of the states yet.

Yeah looking forward to it. After the show you can catch me at the BJ tables. :-)
UH-Matt I am not an Aussie either but I have lived here most of the time for almost 5 years now so I guess I am an adopted one.

I just booked my flight.
There was a one day "travel expo" at the Melbourne Exhibition centre and I got my return flight to Vegas for a bargain $1567 inc taxes with United Airlines.
Over $600 cheaper than anything else I found, and I can do a stop in LA for a day.
Will be in Vegas from 16th to 21st, so see ya'll there!Matt Wallis
