Perhaps a date and location would help others near by actually attend. I know they were having a hard time getting a venue in Seattle for this year's event, but I do wish the organizers would advertise this out at least a few months out not just 3 weeks out.

When:
the weekend of May 12th - 14th, 2017

Where:
Drury Inn & Suites Austin North
6711 I 35 North
Austin, TX 78752

offical site: http://toool.us/lockfest/

I am curious about this meeting/conference .. There is not a lot of details about events or a schedule.. Do you just go and wander around from room to room ..

It is a new venue and I have only been to last years.

but this probably describes it best:
Last time, much of the feedback we got focused on how people loved the low-key times, and social aspect of things. That will be the focus this time. Remember the "Show & Tell" sessions? We are going to again have opportunities for those. Unstructured, chillout times with our picks and locks and gear.

Think of this as a grand-daddy locksport meeting more than a formal conference. The same atmosphere of wander-in, wander-out will be preserved.


It was one room, we had talks here and there. Last year we had a lockpicking and impressioning competition at different times. I don't see it written on the page, but can't remember that it was last year. I assume it would be this year, but assuming is dangerous.

:?
Awww
1) it's in your backyard
2) we still have some talks, last year there was one on openscad and some handmade columbian locks. We had pieces of the TOOOL puzzle lock collection(Pop locks?) . I sat and talked to many people I would not have otherwise and learned quite a bit. We also saw the TOOOL wicked waves and got our owb. Versions of the prototypes.
