If you only ever had time to call; We could have included you, I am sure…I know work is kicking your butt
The conference is being hosted by GrowGreenMi. I believe the Best Western where we are staying is booked. Whitmore Lake.
Perhaps you can goole GrowGreenMi. and call them to ask about other hotels in the area.

My flight round trip is 334.00 and rooms are 85 a night. where were you looking?
Flight is 365 round trip then 300 for the tickets for the weekend pass rental car said 250 with fees and hotel 110 x3 night 330 plus food and what ever else
And im sure I’ll spend 300 while at the show
We can probably take care of your ride from Detroit Airport to Ann Arbor. We can help you get around. No car needed.
We are all sharing and giving to make this happen.
Food can be inexpensive. There are food trucks for lunch. Maybe 10 bucks. We are going to a BBQ one night. Minimal cost. You will have an opportunity to talk face to face with the speakers.
The breeder’s panel and seed swap alone is worth…well…err…priceless.
We got your ride. lw

Sorry i meant can ilgm members get a discount on the 3 day pass?
Do i need to buy them now or cash at the door?
@latewood
Josh who is the event owner is very sick. I am not sure if I can get a discount or not. This is not an ILGM event.
As far as when to buy tickets…I think you can buy anytime. I am continuing to attempt to contact Josh and I will pass info on to you asap.
It is going to be a blast.

Just to let you know. We moved from Best Western to Holiday Inn Express South. It is also on Whitmore Lake rod. Much nicer place, free buffet breakfast. Nicer all around. I hope you can change you reservations. I know they allow you to cancel for free.
You can bring cameras and recording devices. This conference is being filmed by a pro film crew, and Steve (Potent Ponics) is live streaming the whole thing for the conference.
We will be at the Motel sometime Thursday early evening, Let me know if you need any more info.
