Bay Area Maker Faire

[Ralph DiMola]

Thanks for the Heads up we're coming in on Thursday! 

The early bird price is $99 for the conference only. You can now buy a la
cart. Add-ons include the party and the one-on-ones... If you add up all the
add-ons it comes to $595.(what I did).

Agreed, the website should have a more obvious conference link.

I liked when the conference price included the hotel. It was not only
convenient one-stop-shopping but also had the advantage that everyone was in
the same hotel(or two). Group rates are always lower. We're staying at the
Hotel Clariana. It looks to be 2 blocks from the theater. No legend on the
map so I don't actually know how long those blocks are.

FYI for anyone coming to the LiveCode conference in May... the Bay Area
Maker Faire is the previous weekend at the fairgrounds in nearby San Mateo.
If you're making travel plans, it's worth coming a day or two early to catch
the Faire.

Why is there (almost) nothing on the web site about the conference? 
Seems every time I look at the web site it gets worse. The only notice I
could find about the conference is in tiny text at the bottom in the
sitemap. You have to already know there's a conference coming up in order to
search all over the page in order to find the link.

Srsly? The earlybird conference price has now dropped to $99? WTF? My
earlybird ticket cost six times that much. If the price drop is because
you're having trouble getting people to sign up for the conference then
maybe that's because THERE'S NO MENTION OF IT ON THE WEBSITE. How about
doing some outreach/advertising? Do I get a refund?
