Framefest Orlando 2015 * September 18 - 20, 2015

[Mike Labbe]

The official registration website is now online!

There are 19 educational sessions on the schedule for Saturday and Sunday, led by a great team of industry educators. Like last year, classes may be purchased individually - or with a VIP savings pass.

The Framefest exhibit hall will feature more than 32 vendors, and will be open all three days. If you are an exhibitor and would like to participate, please contact us via the website.

Hotel reservations can be made directly from the trade show website. The convention center is connected directly to the host hotel. The hotel is only 3.5 miles from Disney and other attractions, for those wishing to extend their stay a few days before or after. The rooms feature a private bedroom, as well as a separate living area with a sofa bed, microwave, refrigerator, two flat screen TV's, and in-room safe. A fairly comprehensive breakfast buffet is included each day, as well as free wi-fi, and a complimentary evening gathering and social event in the atrium. (including cocktails) The hotel is fantastic!

When selecting sessions, you can select a VIP PASS, individual classes, or a combination of both.

Individually purchased classes and VIP passes include complimentary trade show access. Trade show only $10 in advance/$20 at the door.

TO AVOID CONFUSION WHEN PURCHASING A VIP PASS, WE RECOMMEND THE FOLLOWING STEPS: Promo code should be entered first.
-Determine which VIP Pass you want and note the PROMO CODE mentioned in the description.
-Scroll down to the bottom of the blue class list window, click ENTER PROMOTIONAL CODE, and apply the code noted from last step.
-Scroll back up, select the desired quantity next to the VIP PASS of your choice.
-Select the desired sessions (one from each time slot, please) You may also select events which are not included in your VIP pass, a la carte.
-Scroll back to the bottom and select ORDER NOW to register and complete your order.

We look forward to seeing you at this year's event!

Perusing the registration website I see that one of the exhibitors is Frame Me. Do you have any more info about them? Their link on your site FrameMe.com goes to a site that has no info about the product pitched on the FrameFest page and no info about the company.

 

[Mike Labbe]

I believe it is a new start up and owned by Mo of Big Apple Gallery.

 

[Christopher Mier CPF]

Ok. I'll email them.

I'm really hoping to go but one thing that will make it easier is if I can knock out the three MCPF continuing ed classes I need to keep my MCPF status current. Could someone be kind enough to list which ones meet the criteria?

Thanks.

David, and anyone else interested in re-certification classes. I am checking into which classes qualify and will post here and on our Frame Fest website.
My understanding is that the classes are re-qualified on an annual basis, so we can't assume that those that qualified in the past are current.
