I'm in the travel industry and I really think that this is a misconception. I follow certain routes weekly and their pricing is not cheaper the further out you book. In fact, I see prices come down as time gets closer. However, certain days like 1 week before or 2 weeks before seem to always have jumps in price. But 2 months out to 1 month out the prices seem the same to me.

I'm looking at booking flights for February and when I started watching 3 months ago they were $1900. Today they are $1850. But flights that land at odd times on the same route are at $1760.

BTW, I've also found that Tuesday at night the prices seem to drop and then pop back up on Wednesday morning.

Yeah based on my experiences I agree with that. I've bought way cheaper tickets waiting until 'the last minute' as in a week or two before. The prices just get more volatile around that time.

Was just in Vegas couple days ago, I'd recommend the Venetian and Aria

I'd also recommend having a way to get to your 10 am flight if your out until 7 am

With so many amazing people on here, full of so much knowledge and experience - it's gonna be hard to top the level of some of these.
What would you guys like to see me do a presentation on?
  1. Sales: Why your conversion rate sucks and what you can do to change it
  2. Product development: Taking an idea from garage prototype - to mass market production
  3. Product development: Taking a (healthy, not shady) slice of the massive supplements market pie
  4. Marketing / PR: What I did to raise $123,000 on Kickstarter
  5. Ecommerce: What affiliates want, how they can really increase your earnings, and why you should care
Other things I could talk about are Amazon / FBA stuff, getting the most out of paid traffic (Adwords, Facebook, media buys), or - what you should know to increase your sales with professional looking label and packaging design (and no you don't have to become an artist/designer - just understand what you should be telling your designer to do / not to do from a business perspective).

I am definitely interested in #2

Probably at a 2016 venue at the rate our luck's been going.

We are getting hung up on the venue. Quite honestly, they're being a*holes and throwing a wrench into the entire thing.
You know, Montana is lovely that time of year - and cheap all year round ;) .
You guys all have horses, right?

I don't know if it would help any or even what the venue would be like but a friend of mine is the head chef in one of the restaurants at the Westin in North Scottsdale. Not sure if it would be too expensive but just throwing out another option in case it is needed.

Pre-party and after-hour at Vigilante's World Famous Bar & Grill :cigar:

I doubt any presentations will happen if we go through with that pre-party...

Not sure how long I will be there. Surely for the conference at least, and to see my wife and baby maybe for a few long weekends.

I'm sure we could do that John.

But then... I'd be looking for a new wife.


....win/win?

Just kidding L! (in case she reads here too)
