    I'll be there, as well as my 84 year old mother, who goes by the warrior name of ellymac.

    I know there are a number of others going, but they may not all see this thread. I'll try to let others know you posted this. Would be good if we could all meetup.

      Sounds interesting, is it an annual event, because I heard a similar event was held in Singapore sometime back?

          Hi, I'm 90% decided to go and I would love to meet warriors.
          The only thing that is confusing me is the fact they start asking u$s 997.- but at the end of the ad you can get it for u$s 197.- plus taking a friend ?
          The final point is where is the event for hotel reservations ?
          Thanks for the help,
          Meharis

    I'm supposed to be there...have had a couple of sudden schedule conflicts that I need to crush in order to get there.

    Hope to get there & meet up with other Warriors... and some other folks too. ;-)

    Peace,

    I'm waiting for a callback from the WIS office, I've got a couple of meetings I cannot move that weekend and I'm trying to figure out what I can make. Sounds like it would be a lot of fun and so I'm hopeful I can juggle my calendar...

    Meharis, if the lower price is still advertised, I think you can still get in for that price. As far as hotels, a lot of them are already booked, but it's near the airport so there are a lot of them to choose from. John might know a little more about that.

      Great to hear you'll be there, I look forward to seeing you again. We first met at the Mississauga Warrior meet up in the spring.

      I'll keep an eye out for you

        re HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS

        The block rate they had was gone quite a while ago

        I used http://www.expedia.ca/daily/enc4105/...id=nhp_hotel.e and did a search for hotels around the Toronto [YYZ] airport and compared.

        I chose the Radisson which is right across the street from the conference centre but there are lots of hotels within easy drive if you have a car.

        I sought out a roommate to defray costs and Jit Uppal and I are are sharing - maybe you could post here looking for a similar arrangement?

        I've done this the last 3 live events and it was great meeting new friends and creating long lasting relationships!

        Spread the word about this thread, the more pre-event meet ups planned the better use of your time at this event!

          I'm in Toronto myself... out of curiosity, is this event worthwhile for 'experienced' IMers, or is it geared towards newbies?

    Hi Ronnie

    Interesting question "I'm in Toronto myself... out of curiosity, is this event worthwhile for 'experienced' IMers, or is it geared towards newbies?"

    I certainly don't have a definitive answer.

    But what I would say is that this is my 4th Live Event this year and I see them as an opportunity to network "live" with old and new friends, for meeting some top marketers in person forging personal relationships that could never happen any other way.

    Some call these events 'Pitch Fests'. Well indeed the presenters all have a 'Package' that just might be what you need at that moment. But inevitably the content of their delivery alone usually is worth attending. No one is holding a gun to open your wallet.

    Be responsible, buy if you feel you can turn that investment to your advantage.

    I have met, talked with newbies, multi-millionaires, shared meals, private conversations and even a libation with some spectacular players in the IM field. I am now on a first name basis with many.

    No I'm not tight with many, but I now have an advantage over someone who is only connected thru a newsletter, call in teleseminar etc. I have shaken hands, looked them in the eye and conversed with them.

    Can't do that with out attending, whether you are 'experienced' or 'new' it is the real 'touch' of relationship building and down the road joint venturing.

    So I would suggest checking out the sales page to see who is attending as far as presenters and ponder whether one or more of the some 200 attendees might be your next connection to freedom - why not take a look at World Internet Summit.

    Oh, and something I am really excited about - that is a direct result of meeting with and joint venturing with partners: WORLDWIDE EVENT & SEMINAR NETWORK - Something EXCITING is Coming to the Industry VERY SOON - LiveInternetMarketingEvents.com that is in pre-launch as I right this. Please, everyone take a look and sign up for future announcements.

    Remember that potato chip commercial "I bet you can't attend just one Live Event!"

    I look forward to seeing many Warriors this weekend, so if you recognize me from my photo, PLEASE stop me and say hello!

    Looks like I missed out on something big...

    Completely new to the IM underworld here, so that would've been quite interesting.


    Are there any local meetup / mastermind groups in the GTA?

    I was going to, but I think there is hardly going to be anything said that I do not already know.

    Sure it could be great for networking but it seems to be an expensive way to meet people LOL
