Vote on HostingCon 2007 location!!
As I arrive from another great HostingCon, I must say that this year was a significant improvment from 2006. It was a great show, do you feel the same?
Where would you like to see HostingCon 2007? Vote now below!

Its going to be in Vegas again. No need for a survey.
This is now the home of hostingcon - fantastic place and perfect for the conference.

It WILL be in Vegas 2-3 years, according to staff. But beyond that they will evaluate. Also there is some consideration for some smaller regional shows, looking forward to hearing more on this!
Personally I'd love to see it away from Vegas, but for some time, that won't happen.

After talking with George Tuesday night, I believe HC has found it's new home. There isn't a better place in the U.S. for a conference.

Why Carlos? So you will skip out, again? Rumor has it, you don't like to fly.

Oh damn! If we could consider Toronto for next year, that would be awesome! Vegas was ok, but the heat was debilitating at times. There's nothing worse than showing up at a nice restaurant in a sharply pressed shirt and slacks, trying to stop the sweat from dripping out of the back of your knees because it was 100F at 9 p.m. and you overheated crossing the street. I went to the FS party on Tuesday (nice party guys!), and I just couldn't dress up. It killed me, but the heat killed me more (and I'm married, so who the hell was I trying to impress anyway ).
Another city with the same party potential and more human-friendly climate would be really nice. I think Toronto fits that bill. You have Niagara an hour away if you want to set aside a night/day for gambling, and otherwise, you have one kickass city to do your thing. I have to believe holding a conference at a respectable hotel in Toronto can't be any more expensive than the space reserved at the Mirage this year. And it's no more centrally located than Vegas, given the numbers of participants from either coast (and Canada).
Just my .02, with tip
P.S. The Mirage was a good idea, given the number of hotel choices around it (TI was a nice hotel, and I was digging the tram). That 10 minute walk from the front doors to the conference got old. Next time, maybe I'll stay at Caeser's Palace and sneak in the back entrance to Mirage. If you forget something in your room and you're not at the Mirage, it takes you 30-45 minutes to retrieve it!
Edit Hey Tamer! Did you stop by the WHT booth? I don't remember meeting you.

I believe there is a strong possibility that HostingCon will be back in Vegas Next Year. The heat was bad. However with the gambling, shows, clubs, and dining it is hard to find a place with so much in one place.

I think it should stay in vegas for a few more years yet. Give it a stable home and make life that little bit easier with regards to organisation.
Then when everyones tired of vegas (is that possible?) move it!
Ok ok, so I just like an excuse to come back to Vegas next year

A lot of conferences move to new locations every year, particularly those that have representation from a wide area, such as the whole country or international representation. I don't know that stability really counts for anything. I would imagine logistical convenience, cost and tourist interest would be the biggest factors in the decision. These are probably what led the conference to Vegas (and they are the same factors that give Toronto the thumbs up from me  ).
