    Reading back up through the threads….looks like they had 21 poles set up and Felix's workshops were 2-3 per pole.  Not sure if they will do it any differently this year.

    At Amber Rays workshops we were 2 to a pole.  But we were also learning a doubles routine on spin – which worked out well for being 2 to a pole. 

    I had so much fun at the last convention and really wish I could go this year.

    Hi Ladies, Can't wait for the Convention again this year, it was so Amazing last year! We are going to be vending again (Ris-K Lingerie), and while we have LOTS of new unique pole wear and supplies 😉 I also would love to get input from everyone on what they are looking for from the vendors? Thanks Ryssa

    I just got a Travelocity notice that they have a fare for $144 RT from Chicago! I didn't look too closely at it as I am already booked…

    But for anyone interested, it's out there. And there may be lower fares for other cities as well.

    Ryssa– I would LOVE to see more pole wear vendors – I feel like there are a lot of casual & practice wear vendors, and not a ton of performance wear / 'costume' type vendors. That is my dream for the Convention… Casual wear is good, too, though – I can always add rhinestones later… 🙂

    Hi Veeners,

    I'm the organizer of the Pole Convention and can clear up any questions. I see the most recent talk is that the paid pole workshops are sold out or there could be 100+ people in a workshop….

    The paid workshops are sold out: when you purchase a convention pass you'll get complimentary pole play time, a free pole workshop with Jamilla, free grip workout workshop, free grip recovery workshop, free ATL booty clap from vertical joe's, free business classes for studio owners and managers, and you can perform in the spins and trix battle. There is so much action without purchasing a paid pole workshop, that you'll still get to participate in many activities and get solid pole time. In addition to the workshops, there is a new room added to the convention called 'The Lounge' and there is also a pole to play on for the entire weekend.

    Amount of people in the workshops: there is a maximum of 40 people to a workshop, just like last year. You'll only share a pole with one other person. 🙂

    In the Convention theater this year: There will be 80+ performers from around the world, 25+ speakers, the return of the Bad Kitty Spins and Trix Battle and Showcase of the Stars on Saturday evening. Performers in the Showcase Show: Natasha Wang, Jenyne Butterfly, Felix Cane, Jamilla Deville, Jonathan Nosan, Rafaela Montanaro, and Becca Butcher. In addition to these performers, Bad KItty will present performers such as Zoraya, Karol Helms and more.

    Hope to see everyone there. If you have any questions/concerns, feel free to email me directly, mailto:jessalynn@polepressure.com or mailto:jessalynn@poleconvention.com and I'd be happy to help.

    Safe travels and see you soon,

    J

    Hey everyone, I just came across this great Living Social Deal. It's for a sushi spot about 0.5 miles from the pole convention. You pay $25 for $50 toward food and drink. So if you're going to the convention and you like sushi, check out this link:

    I already got mine:)

    Hey gals! I just wanted to make sure everyone saw that X Pole is giving away private lessons with featured instructors at the Pole Con over on Facebook. I won one with Jamilla last week (WOO!!!) – they are giving away one with Natasha Wang on Monday!!! Make sure you "like" their FB page for details and good luck!!

    Hey ladies! Leaving tomorrow morning – so exciting!

    Is anyone else Beta testing the new Pole Fit shorts from Bad Kitty? (So cool that they are doing that, by the way!!)

    If any of you are tweeting, Jennifer Michelle (@poleskivvies) and I (@meaganoff) are using the hastag #polecon for Pole Con related tweets!
