Desmo 228 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 very well worth going.granted this years a bit of a bust. i'm surprised at the numbers they are expecting at the conference for such a poor year. i know many are not going simply due to cost. Amen to that. I'm hoping next year is a boom year so you all come to Blenheim. We'll fit you in somewhere I'm sure. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Daley 4,351 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Wouldn't really recommend it, I'm sure there are lots of really awesome and interesting people there, unfortunately it's a wash with boring suits who kind of missed that it's a BEEKEEPING conference not a business conference. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Bron 2,780 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Well, conference is kinda interesting, but actually finding some of you guys would be more interesting! Can we cluster somewhere at lunch time... The best coffee is the Analytica coffee girl by the photo display. Thanks Analytica, you rock. There's chairs and space. We'll be there tomorrow lunchtime. Would love to meet whoever is around. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Gino de Graaf 1,030 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Wouldn't really recommend it, I'm sure there are lots of really awesome and interesting people there, unfortunately it's a wash with boring suits who kind of missed that it's a BEEKEEPING conference not a business conference. Agree, beekeeping used to be 'fringe', alternative or even strange. Involved some edgy folk. Walking in bee gear to the cash machine/hot bread shop/diary ensured a few heads turned - kinda embarrassing- Now it's 'cool' and everyday. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
