Is anyone here going to the Survival Expo 2012? Have you gone in the past?

Thanks!

Never heard of it before now.

Let's see: opening night is eight weeks away, no roster of speakers, No schedule of sessions, no list of sponsors or organizers. Lots of solicitations for sponsorship and booth fees and souvenir sales.
Looks like an opportunity for the ETS forum folks to pool our resources and buy ourselves a convention. I volunteer to serve on the committee that interviews the camouflage spokesmodels. Blast can handle the catering, which will consist of foraging expeditions into the verdant Nevada countryside. Redlare and Izzy can do the product demos and marketing...This would be a great opportunity to sell the DR bobblehead doll...

This could be huge.

Any volunteers?

I volunteer for your committee, nursemike.

From what I have heard they have nearly completed exhibitor sales and this is the list of speakers presenting at the event.

Where do you see this info on their website?

I didn't see this on their website, I guess its a bit behind. The Event Coordinator sent me a list of companies attending and a list of speakers.

They just updated their list of exhibitors... http://2012survivalexpo.com/exhibitors/exhibitor-list/

I have missed our local gun show by an accident, perhaps this one could be even better option considering plenty of gun vendors on the list. Are you sure it's not a fake?

Everything looks to be on the up and up...knowledgeable speakers and reputable vendors... I spoke with the Cashman Center where they are having the event and they are familiar with the company holding it and estimated 40-50k people

I can't wait for this weekend...who else is gonna be there?

Sorry, I would rather be out hiking or biking.....

We have a camping trip planned down by the river this weekend. The trout would be disappointed if we didn't toss in a Mepps or two.

I'm still hoping to go, but I need a company, as 9 hours of driving from SFBA is quite tiring and expensive. My friends are still on the fence.

Anyone can review the show for us no goers?
