Rooms are now available at the "PulpFest Rate" of only $109 per night (a nice discount off the normal $189 price).
HOW TO REGISTER:
While there is no charge to attend FarmerCon VII, you must Register with PulpFest to attend. Even though PulpFest has moved to a larger and nicer venue, it still only costs $30 for a three day membership.
If you will be traveling to Columbus and staying overnight, we urge you to book a room at the Columbus Hyatt. The $109 per night room rate is a great deal, and being in the same hotel gives FarmerCon attendees that much more time to hang out.
PROGRAMMING:
In the meantime, here is a listing of the FarmerCon VI programming from 2011. This does not include all the meals we shared together, inside and out of the hotel, the late night talks in the con suite and all time we had to hang out and network with other PulpFest attendees.
Here is the full listing of PulpFest's programming. While ALL of the programming is worth checking out, and we plan to sit in on much of it, items of special interest to those coming to FarmerCon are:Thursday, July 28 2011
