The Early Bird registration has been extended Thez Yo, so you lucked out!

& for anyone who thinks the conference is too far, I haven't heard any complaints from the Australians, Japanese or Europeans that are attending! ; )

Woohoo, aaand it's a new billing cycle on the credit card :-)) .... :down:
 
Mine's bought! THANK YOU for extending the early-bird! :hail: I really didn't have the money before..

Now all's that's left to pay is the hotel once I get there and then bleed some money.. err... I mean plant money :lol:.
 
No prob! The NECPS is happy to do what it can. Early-Bird has been extended again till the 21st.

There also should be some really big updates soon, so stay tuned!
 
I pounced..... :-)

Any details on a shuttle from airport?

And for those of us having to leave on Sunday, what about possible local support in getting plants shipped that we may buy while there?


:-P
 
For the people that are staying at the Hotel, I believe there is a shuttle to/from PVD. Contact the Hotel for the arrangements.

As for plant shipping? I'm not quite sure, that is something that could be worked out with any willing local NECPS members...
I'll be under an avalanche of work with breaking down and transporting my displays and whatnot and am not local (Long Islander) otherwise I'd be glad to help out!

I can't speak for anybody else, but I'm pretty confident that we can find somebody who could help you out
 
I was personally planning on packing some flat rate boxes in my luggage.. Most hotels have an "office center" with internet so you could print a flate rate label to ship it home.. OR.. I looked up FAA or whatever regulations on plants, you're allowed to bring plants on board domestic flights.. so you just need to declare them and it would count as a carry on..
 
I was wondering if there will be any plant competitions. I had the idea of maybe a "kids competition" where you have to be 18 or younger to enter.
 
The speaker schedule is set for the conference! See the speaker announcements thread for details...

The big new update is that we will have night-time hours for the conference as well!

The plant show will be open at night to conference ticket-holders and will have tables and chairs.
There is a bar/restaurant adjoining the plant show in the Hotel so grab a burger or pizza or salad or whatever and a beer and hang out with the plants and the other conference attendees!

We will also have a movie theatre to show CP documentaries and whatnot all night.

Then there's also transportation available to go into Providence, but why even bother?!

It's not too late to get your tickets!
 
Quogue, thanks for the update! I am a little confused on what the ticket actually is. Do we like print out the paypal receipt?

Yeah I'm wondering too... or do I just walk in like I own the place and assume you know I've paid? :lol:
