One of the two rooms for CanFest II
 
DATE: August 14th 9AM-4PM.

LOCATION:
Hilton at CharlotteExecutivePark
5624 Westpark Dr.
Charlotte, NC28217
704-527-8000


Charlotte Hotels - Hilton Charlotte Executive Park Hotel, NC - North Carolina

Rooms are only $89/night. Just mention CanFEST.

We have a totally different room which is about triple the space as compared to last year. In addition we also have a second room for the DIY crowd or anyone who prefers to spend some time in a more quiet and intimate setting: the best of both worlds. So bring your stuff and set up wherever you prefer. There is no charge for table space or admission. It's FREE for all who attend.

In the meantime, please continue to list below those who plan to attend and what equipment you will be bringing and I'll keep an organized list updated. We also have several manufacturers and dealers already committed to attend to help make the event more interesting and fun.
 
For visitors there is a lot to enjoy in the Charlotte area:
Carowinds:    http://www.carowinds.com/

And a whole bunch more: http://www.charlottesgotalot.com/

This would be a little different from the first one in that the space would, at least, be tripled, and we would have two distinct physically separate sections; one would be more of a trade show format with dealers, manufacturers, etc. and the other a more intimate and quite room/rooms for a headphone meet atmosphere where participants can bring their gear and have a dedicated quiet listening area, physically separate from the main room. This would hopefully accommodate everyone in a more efficient and enjoyable way. Your input would be appreciated.

I might try and make it out there from TN.

 

[frank99]

Count me in!
Thanks!

 

[DoYouRight]

ME ME ME!

 

[jscottmsc]

Me too

 

[DannyB]

Hmmm, it doesn't appear that there is much interest in this with only four replys. I'll give it a little longer and see if any additional interest surfaces or just let it die a natural death. Thanks to those who have responded.

 

[fatcat28037]

Just saw the post Danny, sign me up.

 

[Stevtt]

I'm in.

 

[tosehee]

It's a long hour drive for me, but I will definitely try my best to make it. Sign me as well.

 

[iamthecheese]

I'm interested.
If the date is set soon, I'll make sure I keep it free.

 

[Alwayswantmore]

Just saw the thread. I'm interested. Kent

 

[Bob Jones]

IN,I really enjoyed the first one.

 

[woodcans]

As long as I don't have to work, I'll be there.
