There has never been a big announcement, new platforms, or new hires, made at forumcon. The tech media avoids it. You can't compare it to established conventions that actually matter to people and companies.
I could go to a tech food court to see the same amount of people having the same conversations.
A MySpace convention would be abigger draw.

Sorry Carlos but I read the article. It doesn't explain why it's obvious why a forum owner would want to go. They may as well be saying "It's obvious why you want to go to the supermarket today".
I've yet to see a single piece of evidence, or hope that ForumCON is more than any other overpriced, overhyped networking event.
Without wishing to sound like an arse, it doesn't look like your own forums got much out of it.

I went to a convention in Vegas and pretty much most people skipped the business things and partied the whole time. There was plenty of unproductive networking going on, but it was fun and you make some new online "friends" . We were also comped tickets to get into anything for free, just had to get on a plane and a hotel and luckily I split it with a real friend from home and a member of a forum we were cool with

After reading that linked "article", I know that I need to stop by the local dairy farm to pick up some milk but I still don't know why a forum owner would want or need to go to ForumCon.

@Kevin if you're on a forum regularly with fun people, it's a way to go hang with them in person and consider it "work". I've not ever gone to this convention, but definitely have gone to others. They're just fun. You could go and just Hang out with people for a few days and skip the actual convention!

Then why get tickets? I can go to Vegas, Frisco, or down to the pub, party and hang out with friends, without having to waste time and money with a lame convention.
I fail to see any value in it. Posting pictures and videos of people hangin' out, drinking an dancin' just doesn't do it for me.

I cordially invite everyone to MCM London Comic Con this weekend.

It has nothing to do with forums but it's probably just as useful, it's just metres away from my apartment and the attendees are a damn sight more interesting to look at

With a sci-fi forum, I would be better off going there than ForumCon.I cordially invite everyone to MCM London Comic Con this weekend.

I can also confirm the attendees are well worth seeing, a lot of them stay at the Travelodge next to where I used to work.

Really does seem like a complete waste of time, for any forum owner.
If there were special announcments, prizes, or discounts/early access to products etc, then it might be
But it just seems like people are paying VigLink for the honour of allowing forum owners to talk to each other in the same meeting room, rather than online lol.
