A new conference is born. Fox Forward will be held September 15-17 in Atlanta. The conference runs over the weekend, so it should help attract attendees. While it's great to see another Fox conference announced, I see some problems with this one. The hotel is about 40 miles from the airport. That makes for an expensive cab ride or requires a rental car. The airfare and hotel rooms for speakers are not being paid for, as is customary at conferences. Hilton Garden hotels don't have great bars...an almost must at Fox conferences. Session length needs to be adjusted to 75 minute sessions and 15 minutes between sessions. Shorter breaks were tried at Essential Fox a few years ago and they didn't work well. I really hope the conference is successful, but a first glance, I see potential problems.
