I just registered to attend the Slipper Orchid Symposium in Apopka, Fl November 5th and wondered if anyone else was interested.

How much will the price of attendance be because $65 is a pretty penny

 

[suzyquec]

To attend just the symposium with lunch is $25.

$65 is a pretty penny to learn from four of the best, eat and attend a gathering?? Don't get out much do you??

Bummer it is in Florida. Great line up of speakers and I know Hillsview Gardens will be vending there as well.

 

[NYEric]

Hmmmmm, I will be in Florida at that time....

 

[PaphMadMan]

Hmm... Could be a birthday trip. Already have the following week off. Scare the hell out of my sis-in-law if I showed up at her door unexpected.

Suzyquec, If I'm not mistaken, you are incorrect and that $25 fee that you are referring to is if you bring someone else in to just join you for lunch or the BBQ. This does not allow them access to the speakers or sales area.

You are correct I misread it. Thank you for the heads up on that.

Maybe if you contact the o gainers maybe they can give you a student discount? Maybe offer to volunteer (help with setup etc?).

Hmm that could work. Wouldn't hurt to ask

Priorities amigo. $65 for what you get is a far greater value then ones return in any bar... for instance. Not to mention it is several months away still.
Like Linus said offer to volunteer. Hit members up and see if any one can help with rides/hotels etc.

I'll definitely be asking when i get time

My money is going to paying off debt hahaha
I can always get a drink for free but I've only got until i finish college to work off the interest free loans

 

[SFLguy]

That and the occasional plant haha

Afuckingmen Tony!!! :rollhappy: I have never seen the appeal, but I probably need to get over that for the sake of the orchids!!

 

[tnyr5]

I simply meant that I'm not driving 1000+ miles for an orchid show lol.
