I understand #FinCon12 is a big investment for many attendees. Especially since they may not be making much money from their blogging efforts just yet. I also understand that the conference costs more than the ticket (i.e. airfare, hotel, etc). Still, I’m committed to keeping the price of FinCon at cost for attendees.
To further reduce your cost to attend #FinCon12, be sure to visit the unofficial hotel room share sheet as well as book your flight well in advance.
I find this information very usefull for making future decesions.It will be very helpful benefits for us and now I am well aware of its every aspecIts like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but other than that, this is great blog. A great read. Ill definitely be back.

Just trying to plan ahead, what type of transportation discounts are available. Thanks!
@slofia We will have a special rate with SuperShuttle that I will be announcing on the blog soon. It will be $38 r/t from the Denver airport.
After attending last year, I would totally pay more than $149 to attend FinCon (but I am happy Phil has kept the cost low). It’s truly an awesome deal if you’re even semi-serious about financial blogging.
