Also were hiring a bunch of female models to work with registration and support at the event so it won't be such a male dominant event.

Ratio of bitcoiners to non-bitcoiners?
LOL but seriously I agree with the guy, if costs are covered I think every paying member should be allowed to bring in "fresh blood", a person who would not come if it wasn't for free so its not like its hurting profit margins (does the conference have food costs?). If you are doing these conferences you probably have some money of your own and its our moral duty to educate the public if we can afford to do so (having some hot miami girls there wouldnt hurt either). I will be buying my less afluent friends (aka those that didnt listen to me a year ago) tickets, but i think maybe a fund to set up "bitcoin scholarships" is appropriate?! just thinking outloud and by no means intend offense to the organizers or the OP, this conference is already priced very reasonably i am not trying to bitch, just speaking out loud.

I think that it would be our best interest to educate more people, if not can I at least bring some hot goldigging bitcoindigging sluts?
I go to Umiami so I am referring to young gullible college pussy here...what do you say OP?

With you 100%. Behind the scenes I've arranged with over 50 people to attend who can't afford or are just interested in learning more. High school students, local businesses, lots of people.

Also were hiring a bunch of female models to work with registration and support at the event so it won't be such a male dominant event.

It's difficult to know who is just trying to get a freebie and who can really use a ticket. In our experience, giving free tickets usually means people are less likely to get involved or even show up, and when we give tickets to one person, it means that ticket isn't available for someone else.

Hi guys!

I managed to pull a miracle and bought a cheap plane ticket to attend the conference. I'll be traveling from Venezuela.

Looking forward to meet some fellow bitcoiners!!!

Will any guests be allowed to enter with someone holding a conference ticket? I have some girls that want to come to miami, but it wouldn't be worth it to get them tickets since their not really interested in anything there...

Ladies should be free Wink bring up the ratio.

Life is a taxable event
I'd like to go and I'd have to ask my step-brother for the keys to his home. I believe he lives nearby. Train tickets from tampa are 82 dollars roundtrip. Does anyone have a home there that I could crash in case I don't get the apartment? If I get the apartment I may have family with me.

If not someone could crash there.

If there is anyone considering going there and currently living in Tampa or Pinellas county send me a PM.

All early-bird tickets are sold out.

Regular-bird tickets available now.

Blockchain.info has joined as a supporting sponsor, and we've added some amazing new speakers to the list, and are including a much anticipated VC panel, Dev panel, Economics panel, and Startup panel.

We can't wait to see you.

I'M STARTING A NEW BIZ TO OFFER MAJOR DIGITAL CURRENCY GOODS AND SERVICES. AS A NEWBIE, I JUST MISSED THE LAS VEGAS EXPO SINCE I ONLY HEARD ABOUT IT 2 DAYS AGO.

ARE THESE CONFERENCES A GREAT PLACE TO BE TO FIND DEVELOPERS, INVESTORS AND SUCH?

I MAY HAVE TO TRY TO MAKE THIS ONE IF SO.
THANKS

Yes. Conferences are primarily a networking event, where you could meet lots of new people, exchange ideas, and trade contact information.

Wonder if I can work a table as "Have your bitcoin questions answered" like I did in San Jose, to help out newbies with how to get into bitcoins, news orgs with answers on bitcoin trends, and veterans on whatever bitcoin topics they wish to debate or learn more about. I'd do it as a volunteer, and it was quite usefull when I did it in San Jose (I'm assuming it was useful, because Julian and I were pretty much busy constantly, with people showing up nonstop for three days straight)

This is a great idea. Promoting bitcoin and bitcoin education is a core theme of this conference.

I will set aside a table for you.

Yay! Awesome! Thanks Cheesy
