FAQ
Q. The event was free last year, so why are you charging for it this year?
A. The simple answer is the venue. One of the biggest concerns we heard from attendees last year was the event space. You wanted something bigger and better that provided more room to move about and mix and mingle. Well we heard you. This year we have a bigger and better venue and as such, there is a cost that goes along with it.
