I'm going to both! Luckily I live an hour away from Toronto so I only have to pay for my ticket.

With no slow down traffic we can make it to downtown Toronto in under 2 hours but I just can't see wanting to wake up @ 5am to be on the road for 6ish, with a baby in tow, to get to an 8:30/9am start.

I wanted to go so bad! I don't think I'll be able to figure out whether I even can (job situation, etc) before the tickets sell out. Plus, it's 10 days after I get back from New York. Plus, I'd have to figure out a roomie and everyone that is going has already worked everything out! So we'll see.

Haha that's news to me... I haven't even started to think about where I would stay...

Me neither.  Somewhere close to the conference.  I don't know Toronto at all - will need some good ol' search engine help for this one.

(I am the blog nerd, she likes to write and talk to folks who comment)

I have to pick FINCON over this. I'd love to go to both but the dates are way to close to each other to make it work. I pointed out to Preet and Krystal when they were first looking at this that the FINCON date could at that time possibly even be the exact same weekend, but they went ahead anyways.

Hey Tom, see U again at FinCon Smile

Cheers

Should I consider sleeping in my car? Hahah... maybe that would be too frugal. 

Doooo it!

Thing is, FINCON could have been Oct or Nov as well – those were voting options.  I'm kinda annoyed by the date chioice, but also location – the top 2 VOTED options were passed over for a semi-distant 3rd.  I just don't get what the point of having a vote was ... 

ditto here! Wink

Tom I totally agree!  I would have loved to attended both events, and especially CPFC12 since its Canadian. But travelling back to back conferences is way too much. I do agree Krystal and Preet should have set a much better date for this, even though they booked the event before FinCon. Unfortuate as I really wanted to connect with a few of my PF blogging friends. Anyway many more people at FinCon, more awesome bang for the buck IMO!

For those who are in Toronto area - this will be real gem Wink

Hey Tom, see U again at FinCon Smile

I wish I could make it, but Toronto is a bit far from Vancouver. Perhaps next year Confused

I was interested in attending but considering FINCON is so close to it and it will cost me about equal to go to either one... If I can make it I'm going to try for FINCON12 first and two is a big of a stretch.

This includes bloggers, media, PF gurus etc (I think). However, I plan to check both out - CPFC12 and FINCON12. Fortunately one is in my backyard (10min drive) and the other is a 4hr flight. So, we'll see what happens.

I meant even before the voting, actually the final day of FINCON11. I knew the very beginning of Oct wasn't likely again, but most likely within a couple weeks on either side.

The voting was factored in, but not just the location… people didn't want $150-$200 hotel rooms just to have the conference in San Diego at the available locations. I think with a conference full of pf bloggers, Phil knew he needed to keep affordability in mind.
