I booked it a day or two ago at the $79 rate... the terms (at least for me) allowed for penalty-free cancellation by day of arrival. ^

Is the Registration still going out on February 1,2012. Also, does the sign up for the workshops happen in the late Summer?
I was way too late to sign up for the seminar last year but managed to book the hotel room for this years seminar.

I was able to book Friday, but not Saturday. Looks like I am splitting up my stay.

Any confirmation that the host hotel is actually sold out?
Thanks.

If its truly oversold i hope i don't get walked. I'm sure people will cancel last minute anyways but its always a chance. Also I accidentally booked without entering my CC. I assume i need to call as i cant find where to add the CC number after the fact.

So with the sale of your site done, is the Chicago Seminar now going to be "The Chicago Internet Brands Seminar"?
This is actually a serious question. Many of us will not want to your now corporate event if that is going to be the case.

In fact, I've asked Randy again to close the show and am awaiting his response AND we need both these forums to help sponsor the event. The food cost went up and the points guy and I want to keep the registration as close to the same as last year as possible.
The name of the Event is Chicago Seminars 2012 and all are welcome.
