This is auful!!!!!! I scheduled everything around getting Friday off so I could go see the vendors, and now I found out that they won’t even be there Friday….If you are going to schedule a 2 day affair…shouldn’t you let people know it’s realy not all that you have advertised?????
Lucy,
We apologize for not putting that information on the blog entry. However, if you registered for the conference, you would have seen that information listed very clearly on the registration page. Again, I’m sorry for the miscommunication. Vendors will always be available on one day, as there is not enough traffic for them to justify being available for two days.
