I wanted to share the announcement for this event with everyone. This is going to be a special conference. Great speakers and great sales tables.

I want to get a sense on who was planning on going. I do hope to see many of you there.

Would there be a lot of vendors selling flasks at this event? I am thinking about going.
 
How difficult is it to bring plants for sale to Hawaii?! I recall the state having strict regulations.
Hi Pete!

As I understand, one of the local nurseries is going to help with arranging HI specific permits to bring plants onto and off the Island. What is required is a Hawaiian version of a Phyto, to ensure you're not bringing anything onto the Island that could cause a problem locally.

Substantial amounts of plants are always coming off the Island, it is a matter of process as opposed to licenses and the like.

Hope to see you there,

Frank
 
I will be there and try to bring also my books with. I hope that the 3rd volume of my Paphiopedilum book will be ready at this time.

I have never been to Hawaii so I'm very excited to visit. Is anyone familiar with orchid nurseries on the Big Island that are worth visiting? I know there are several, but I need to sort out my geography. I hope to spend a few days exploring before the conference.

Wish I could go but I’m on my way to Japan Dome show around that time.
 
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I am bumping this thread as the time to register with the discount is fast approaching. You can avoid the non member fee if you join the Orchid Digest. The price discount essentially gives you a year of the Digest free.

The price includes two days of lectures, Friday night dinner, Saturday lunch, and Saturday night dinner. You get access not only to the speakers, who are always happy to talk, and the sales tables, there is an open house at Hilo Orchid Farm after the lectures on Sunday where you get the opportunity to shop and see one of the largest slipper and orchid nurseries in the world. I have been there and it is a real treat to visit there.

Best,
