I was planning on going to this on Sunday, but just realised that Sunday is trade only according to the cafebiz website. Will I be able to get in at all?


Edit: I registered at the website and it said I just need to exchange the confirmation email for an entry badge, hopefully nobody will enquire too closely what my business actually is.

I thought I saw it somewhere but cant find it now, so my question is....

Whats the difference between the Saturday and Sunday Beanology sessions?

goes and looks one last time before posting

Found it http://www.beanology.coffeesnobs.com.au/

Sunday is "**follow on from Saturday, more advanced topics**"

Noticed no lunch stop in the programme, should I bring sandwiches? ;D

At the moment we expect tickets will be picked-up on the day but if logistics make more sense to freight them then we will do that at least a week before the event.

Is it still the case that we pick up the  tickets at the  door?
I managed to get a second round offer so am not certain of the arrangements.

Whoops  just noticed this in the invoice
Name Quantity Total Item Price
† Beanology 1 $50.00
Shipping: RASV Building, Royal Melbourne Show Grounds Saturday, 21 May 2011 $0.00
Total $50.00

So it seems  pickup  at the RASV  Building is the  go

Andy,

Any more word on whether we are allowed to park at Gate 5 at all?

The word on the CafeBiz website is that the parking is at Flemington Racecourse.

Re: The Australian Coffee Festival & Cafe Biz 2011 - Melbourne

I was there all morning moving stuff upstairs to the Beanology area and have just come back to Geelong for another load. Its all starting to come together!

The trade area of Cafe Biz is buzzing with everyone getting their site setup and all their gear into the building.

Heading back now and hope to setup something to make me a coffee!!! Good news is there will be plenty of coffee for the weekend.

More updates tonight when I get back.

Re: The Australian Coffee Festival & Cafe Biz 2011 - Melbourne

So excited for tomorrow - partly to check out all the bling, and also to meet other Snobs.

Maybe we can pencil in a CS on our nametags so we know to say hi
