Just curious if anyone planning on attending the E-scrap conference in Orlando in September? Or, if you have been to it before if you found it to be worthwhile?

Just curious if anyone planning on attending the E-scrap conference in Orlando in September? Or, if you have been to it before if you found it to be worthwhile?
Looking at the site for them...I won't be.
I'll save my reasons for a later date. Lets just say..reading the website doesn't have me putting faith in the folks running the show. To many alarm bells for myself. As always though...Your mileage may vary.
Hopefully someone will chime in thats been and put my alarms silent..ha!

I think I'll just wait for the SMF convention!
I might have to pop in for this. Let me know if anyone is going to attend. We will have to meet up.
I'm going to go. Serious about my business and I want to learn all I can. Probably bring the wife and make a mini Vacay out of it.
If no one else is going to go then I am going to come back and post that a guy was there signing contracts buying CRT tubes for 2.37 a lb!
LOL. Love it. That would be funny. Let's keep this thread alive. I am going to try and make it at least one of the days, even if just for a few hours. Hope to see ya there.Quote:

You guys have fun!
If I'm going to FL and dropping 500 bucks + ( hotel, food, transportation etc) I'll be taking the wife and enjoying my vacation.
I'll await your reports and just consider you drunk if you say people are buying crts for 2.37 or whatever..lol. Remember to take pictures of that contract, or it didn't happen! :p
Till then..see you all at the SMF convention! ;)
Sirscrapalot - Takes his business seriously, attending or not attending doesn't change that.
OK, $500 for admission? never mind. I live close enough to pop in for the day, so can still do that, but will meet up somewhere near the event. Maybe a scrap metal forum lunch meet up or something.
At 500, they don't want the everyday small scrapper there. Process of elimination.Quote:

Yea, there is no one day option I saw. it's 500 bucks for entrance to all seminars an convention. Being local you just gotta deal with reg fee, everyone else has to deal with hotel, reg fee, transportation..I'd rather just come down shell out money for a hotel, an hang out with you smf fl folk! lol.
Either way anyone goes, make sure ya share the happenings..unless you gotta sign some disclosure agreement. Heh.
Again anyone goes I hope they have a good time an get something out of it.

i think they just want to regulate the life out of you & try to find ways to make you pay even more taxes & whatever.
it always works that way- whenever the govt & big business sees the smaller guys making money out of something nobody gave a 2nd thought to before, they try to get a piece of the action
Everyone Pay me 50 bucks and we can have an ewaste convention at my house
Make it in February and you may have some takers.Quote:
