Let me rephrase the question.....Did anybody ELSE go to this last year?

The show is canceled. This is what was emailed to me

 

 

Regrettably, we have to announce the final postponement of NEOVGCON '09 for at least one year... We have tried in vain to recover from our early problem that prevented us from getting the '09 Event organized and on the road, while we were making headway and have had great feedback from many of you - alas the economy has also done us in. Because of the massive economic downturn, many of our Sponsors and Vendors are doing all they can to make ends meet. While our Industry seems to be very strong nationally, locally many of these locations were into other retail operations as well and just can't surivive while including us in their plans. This also included major sponsorship, the way we get our location paid for in the first place, most businesses are rightfully just trying to keep their own payrolls in order and people off the unemployment lines. We realize we can't overcome that and that we certainly can't expect everyone else to as well - so we must wait. We sincerely hope the economy doesn't take a long-term slide, which would interefere with NEOVGCON '10! We're starting very early this round to get the basics in place but with a realization that downsizing or new facilities might be required in order to bring you more than we did in the past in our first year. Other area conventions and outings have also been postponed for these very reasons, it's hard on all of us! So if you're interested, STAY interested! Make sure you sign up for an Account here and stay on our Mailing List so that we can bring you the latest news and dates! As of this moment, we're tentatively looking at the same weekend in March, 2010. Location TBA. IF things turn around quickly, and we're not holding our breath, we could change our dates back to the originally targeted time of late October/early November of 2009 for the Christmas shopping season. Again, one can only hope! Thanks NEOVGCON Directors and Staff
