@Silver Yes, I'll be there for both days and I can't wait to meet you and all the other people whom I know from the forum - that is really the only reason why I'm going. I doubt that there'll be any new coffees but if there are I'll dance a merry jig!

Can't wait to meet you!
1. I don't have a full list yet.
2. A few juice makers will probably launch new juices.
3. I would like to meet some of the guys and girls on the forum and also our mixologists who I have not met face to face yet
4. Planning on entering the DIY comp again.

Note to self :
a. Bigger budget
b. Bigger bag
c. Extra batteries and devices
d. Wear comfy shoes

My plan is to come and try new juices...and she whatbon the market... Also remote area... New to vaping.. So want to see how everything is anf what the best way

 

[Silver]

Great to hear all the plans so far

@Chanelr 's suggestion of wearing comfy shoes is a great one!
Lots of walking to be done and nothing worse than having uncomfortable shoes.

I can tell you that we are all in for a fabulous treat this year!!

@Silver Are there places to sit somewhere?

@Silver Are there places to sit somewhere?

There are some tables and seats by the food court. But maybe @Silver has organised us a Forumites Lounge this year

@Silver Are there places to sit somewhere?

Most certainly @Hooked
Lots of tables, chairs and umbrellas!

Here's a pic from last year

Check out this post to get an idea of what the outside food and drinks area looked like last year

There are also lots of benches under the tent by the bar - so undercover seating is also available.

And there are plenty chairs inside the venue in front of the stage

No shortage of seating space!

If there had to be a lounge more than 70% of the vapecon people will be sitting in it

You're going to enjoy it a lot @X-Calibre786 !
First time VapeCon attendance is quite an eye-opener indeed

 

[Rob Fisher]

Are you a player in the SA Vape Scene? Then we will see you at VapeCon 2019! Grab a stand at VapeCon 2019 before they are all sold out. If you are a vaper then come and see the best of the best of Vape Vendors in South Africa and the rest of the planet!

Indeed @Rob Fisher !!
It's been a busy day so far - lots of interest in VapeCon
Stands are going by the day

We are all going to be in for a BIG treat come the end of August!

 

[Hooked]

By the way, here's a good tip for you @Silver, @Rob Fisher and any others who are going to be on their feet all day.

Take an extra pair of shoes with you and change your shoes every 3 hours or so. Wearing one pair of shoes all day long means that you're subjecting your feet to the same pressure points. Changing your shoes changes the pressure points.

In addition, you'll find exchanging your shoes refreshing, because the other pair won't be as hot as the pair that you're wearing.

If you can, place a bag of ice (you could put some blocks of ice in a zip-lock bag) inside the shoes that you're not wearing. When you put those shoes on your feet will be soooo happy!

Thats a great idea @Hooked !
Thank you
I have never done that (changing shoes or putting blocks of ice on the other pair)

 

[Rob Fisher]

Great idea. But I discovered some fantastic shoes at the airport in Stuttgart called Joe Nimble shoes. I have a terrible time finding comfortable shoes and because I had time I wandered into the Joe Nimble shoe shop and tried on a pair. I put them on and only took them off just before I jumped in the shower at home 24 hours later. But I have ordered a second pair and will bring both to VapeCon.

@Rob Fisher I've just had a look at their website and it's very interesting indeed. Don't want to derail this thread with a discussion on shoes, so I'll start a new thread later today.

Update on VapeCon 2019 preparations

5 July 2019

It’s been a mammoth past few weeks. VapeCon preparations have ramped up to full speed.

Vendor registration is going well. We are pleased with the response and support. The interest in our event from overseas has been surprising. There are some stands left but most are taken. We are in for a treat on the vendor front

All the other big pillars of the event are now firmly in place. Food and drinks vendors are being announced. Tickets are going to be finalized soon. And our marketing campaign is almost ready to go...

We are now focusing on many of the finer details. Competitions, exhibitors manual, photographers, videography, promotional staff and logistics to name a few. There are so many small things that one needs to be careful you don’t forget anything

Am pleased with the overall progress. Everything is going well so far and we are on track. Lots of work still to be done in the weeks ahead though. But we are fired up and excited.

This year’s event is going to be fantastic!
