    Midwest Delegation to HangCon 2024



    Many of us in the Midwest have thought about a trip to HangCon, but only some have actually gone. I'm willing to help organize a group for the 2024 HangCon.

    After researching chartering a plane and a bus, and talking to several of you, it makes most sense (time-wise) to fly to Florida and then rent a vehicle.

    At this time, I'm wondering who would be IN? Sign-up here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing


    Rough details:

    HangCon dates: Thursday, Jan 11 - Monday, Jan 15

    - Everybody finds their own ticket and flies down to Orlando on Thursday, Jan 11, 2024.

    - We rent a vehicle and drive the 1.5 hrs to HangCon and stop at the nearest Walmart to pick up supplies on the way

    - Return vehicle and fly back home on Monday, Jan 15, 2024.

    - Everyone would need to take at least three days off of work. Thursday, Friday and then Monday.

    - Although Tampa is closer to HangCon, there are more flights in/out of Orlando. If mulitple people want to fly into Tampa and rent a car from there, that's a great alternate plan.

    - Renting a vehicle with Turo is the best price option I could find. We can pick up the vehicle at the airport. Many sizes available if we reserve early.


    Approximate cost:

    $400 - plane ticket
    $100 - car rental + gas
    $100 - food & misc
    $600 total

    If you take $600 divide by 9 months = $66 a month. That's equal to a weekly Friday fishfry. Skip the fish and start setting aside money today!

    Very cool. Would be a great option for those of us just outside of the feasible driving circle. Really want to be able to make it. To far out to make a definite commitment but will for sure be following thread.

    I would love to go next year, but due to my work schedule that time of year I may have to make it a shorter trip. Probably Friday afternoon and fly back Sunday evening. However, I would love to meet you all there.

    I just booked my ticket to HangCon!

    If you are going and want to carpool from the airport, let me know.

    I land in Orlando on Thurs, Jan 11 @ 11am and leave Orlando on Mon. Jan 15 @ 3pm.
