shaping up to be one heck of an event!!!! We will be there!

That's great Nymph...we have a lot of people responding on our Facebook page which has been up for a while now but we just made the announcement with XPole last week. If your recall the room we used last year - that will now be broken out into at least 4 workshop rooms and we are adding the exhibit hall next door which is twice the size of last year's room. That is where the vendors, shows and competitions will be held. Tickets will go on sale July 1st. I should also mention that the Florida Pole Fitness Championships collaborated with us to develope their rules and guidelines! We are not partnering with them but I wanted to let everyone know that we fully support that competition and are proud of the way both are organized!

that is wonderful! I'm so excited and I loved the way it was set up last year that the vendors (or Merch bitches) could still see the compitiion while keeping an eye on the tables.

last year I had a blast being a competitor I'm gonna try out this year too and definitely get a room at the convention center so I don't miss out on all the shenanigans ;) Looking forward to it!!!

I'll cheer you on glitter :) I'm not trying out, and I think we will stay there this year too last year we had free rooms at a hotel not too far away.

:( I think I am going to block all talk about this. Between our 10 year anniversary earlier that month and my mom's 80th birthday travelling to Chicago is just not an option.
