    Discounts for WHT members

    HostingCon is fast approaching. August 10-12 will be here soon.

    WHT members simply need to enter the code webhostingtalk2009 to receive exclusive discounts on their conference purchase.

    Entering webhostingtalk2009 during registration gives the following.
    • $60 off Full Conference with lunch
    • $40 off Full Conference without lunch
    • $30 off a Single Day, no lunch
    • $20 off Exhibits Plus

    These are good off the Early Bird and the Regular rates.

    Remember, the Early Bird expires June 29. So, what are you waiting for?

    See you at the show!
    There is no best host. There is only the host that's best for you.

    Any numbers on how many people have registered already for the show?

    Just wondering if it’s more or less than last year,

    What do you think?

    Right now, attendance is on par with last year's numbers.

    I'm considering HostingCon this year. I wish there was some discount for multiple passes though.

    Agreed - discount for multiple passes and/or loyal attendees. Honestly, I think we'll just go for exhibit hall this year (for the first time). None of the sessions in the previous 3 years have made me want to splash $1600 for the full conference pass. I recognise different management with weight put behind improving the sessions, but I think time is required to transition the sessions from poorly masked sales pitches into real, useful content.

    It has ranged from 1200-1500 total people, from between 25-35 different countries.

    Agreed. For the first time I am doing the exhibit / drink pass only. Also a few of our clients are doing the same thing. Waited a long time for the sessions to be introduced and so have noticed a little better set of speakers from years past, but will wait until the reviews of this year to see if we will attend the sessions next year. Hopefully based upon the reviews of "this" year the conference coordinators can yank out the sessions that are too sales-pitchy.

    In regards to discounts for multiple employees I totally agree. If not for a small discount (for multiple employees) at least make it easier for multiple people to sign up. I had a client that wanted to take 10 employees. After filling out the forms 4 times (and the credit card starting to flag the charges since they were all the same amount) they stopped right there. The first 4 are the lucky 4 to go. :-)

    For a conference.. you will need businesses to be successful.
    So make it easier for a business to sign up a group of people. Also businesses "love" discounts. They will sign up group of 10 people just because there is a 10% discount, but will probably only have 5 people attend! So in the end Hostingcon will make out..... I'm just surprised HostingCon has not done this yet...

    Bill,

    I am doing exactly the same. Exhibit hall only for the first time at any conference. If feedback from sessions is good, I will reconsider for next year.

    On the discount note... the actual dollar value might be quite small, but we'd be happy to feel that we got a good deal.

    Last year was really mixed for us. We did get some info out the sessions, but it was really sales "pitchy". I think more contacts were made and more info came from the exhibits and general chit-chat than anything else. I also encountered the "I'm above you" tone from a few other companies/people. Don't worry, I wont forget who you are..

    Anyway, I personally took my time and visited each booth and introduced myself and saw what the vendor was promoting. Great fun, but it only took less than one afternoon to do it.

    In the end, we may just wait until next year, because going every year may be a waste.

    We'll have a WHT discount to use with Early Bird pricing, but not with the Super-Early Bird rates that are effective now through December 31. The best rates are Super-Early Bird, so book now! We hope to see you in Austin.
