@JimDrew
doesn't this date conflict with CommVEx that weekend? or was CommVEx cancelled?

To my knowledge, CommVEx has not been cancelled. No, it doesn't "conflict". CRX is the solution to a dying event. 99% of the sponsors, vendors, and regular attendees of CommVEx pulled out to create this new event. Everyone was fed up with how CommVEx was being run. This has been an ongoing battle for the last few years, and it finally escalated to the point where something had to be done about it, resulting in CRX.
We deliberately chose the same weekend because a lot of people had already booked flights/hotels, and wanted to attend CRX - not CommVEx. It will be interesting to see how many people actually show up a CommVEx.
We have mWaveStudios coming from the U.K. to film the CRX event for their Kickstarter project "The Commodore Story". We will have many special guests that will be there to make presentations and conduct interviews for the book/DVD.
We are expecting hundreds of people to attend, and over the weekend we increased the size of the meeting room to accommodate 520 people. If we need more space, we can double the room size.
CRX is being held at a really nice resort that is family-friendly, offering 3 pools, a spa, cabanas, work out facility, a 5 star restaurant, lounge, etc. This place is super nice. Free parking, and free admission to CRX. It's a great location to bring your family while you play with Commodore stuff! We have special room rates for this all-suite resort. If you are interested in booking a room, let me know and I can give you details.
