Would absolutely love to attend but I cannot.
Sounds like a fun time to be had, though. |

Always liked Railway Club, little more casual for a GTG. Upstairs is especially good for a GTG as it's quite private and secure.

Well guys, your GTG is going to be classed up a bit, actually quite a LOT! You see you’re going to have an AMERICAN in attendance! Yep, TheVTCguy just landed in Melbourne, staying at the Promenade hotel and working a trade show 27th, 28, and 29th. My vote for location is whichever one is closest and easiest for me to get to from the convention center. I think the show ends at 7:00 so I’ll get out as soon as I can. My number is (US) 858-245-4136. Looking really forward to it and I’m glad we’ll have some US representation there!!!

Paul, no international incidents, please. Tie me kangaroo down, sport. Enjoy! Great that you get a chance to meet numero uno of TRF! (I don't believe you have met Steve before). And I get the sense that your being there lead to a GTG opportunity. Well done!

It was a great night, met a lot of new guys, and I think everyone had a really good night sharing stories and discussions.

Nice to see it came off splendidly.
Not a scientific study, but am I correct that 85% wore a “professional” model? The demand curve among WIS is likely the same. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

A few more photos:
There were 10 people in attendance which was perfect for the table and the venue. The time just went so fast. The food and wine were excellent and complimented the excellent discussions on topics that we all love.
