| What are we going to do at the meetup? I know there have been talks of vendors so we'll have lots of shopping. But what else???

| Yes - We're planning on having our YT vendors set-up all day Saturday, and we will be mingling around them chatting and shopping! Then, we're hoping to have a couple speakers on Saturday (maybe more if you guys have other topics you'd like to hear discussed), and our vendors will be able to take a break and close down for the speakers, while we all go into the ballroom and listen to what they have to say. I think we're hoping to get 1 person to talk about pet nutrition and another on grooming. Are there other topics that you guys would rather hear discussed? Or people who you would recommend as speakers? I've been looking into local Kansas City contacts to speak, but if we have a qualified YT member who would like to put together a bit of a presentation, I'm all for that too. We haven't done much work on the speaker idea yet, as that doesn't have to be organized as early as the hotel info. |

| I'm planning on most people flying-in Friday (we're going to have an informal gathering in a local park on Friday afternoon/evening, with free transportation to the park for you and your dog provided by the hotel), and the main event will be all day Saturday (starting with continental breakfast Saturday, mingling all day, and ending with a nice dinner with everyone that evening), and then we'll have another continental breakfast on Sunday, and I anticipate most people checking out of the hotel and heading home after that. HOWEVER, people are welcome to come early or stay late, as Kansas City does have a lot to offer. We're not going for something real structured here...just a nice gathering where we can all put faces with names and YT IDs and get to know each other better. Personally, I can't wait to talk with everyone in person! |

| I was thinking the same thing. Maybe a name tag with our "real" name, YT name and maybe where we are from???

Is the entire convention going to be held at the hotel? I have people in KC that I'll be staying with, and want to know what I'll be missing out on by not staying there!

| Don't worry! I've already planned on nametags!!! Although it could be fun guessing who people are too! Can you identify a person from their Yorkie? Now that's a "Guess the Yorkie" game!!! Guess the Yorkie's Owner!!! |

| Well...the informal gathering on Friday will be at a park on/near the Plaza, but everything else will be happening at the hotel. We're trying to keep everything on/near the Plaza so people don't have to rent cars to get around. |

| I hope that Admin will make the new thread with the registration details a "sticky" so that we can find it easily. When will vendor information be available? |
