The 2016 Freeplay Florida event is on it's way!  I wanted to take a moment to post some of the early details of the show and let you all know we are in full show mode getting ready for this November!!  8)

Freeplay Florida is officially scheduled to be at Doubletree Sea World Nov. 11-13th!  This date is moved up one week from the years prior so please take note!  In a few months we will post that we have the online passkey available for you to book your rooms!  If you are using Hilton points, you will need to call the hotel directly.  Just let them know you are with our group and they should get you all taken care of!  So until reservations go live with room reservations, mark your calendars and save the date!!! 

Also, we are starting a new mailing list!  This will give you up to the minute news and announcements about the show, special guests announcements, and show details as they are released.  The easiest way to sign up is to either contact us on Facebook, send us an email at contact@freeplayflorida.com or take one of our new show surveys.  We are interested in hearing what you have to say!  Our goal is to put on the best event possible so let us know what you think!  By filling out the survey, you will be asked if you would like to join the FPF mailing list.  The link for the survey is here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GXR833V 
We look forward to hearing from you, it is important to us to get your feedback, so thank you in advance for filing it out!

Also, we have our first official guest announcement for 2016!  The famed artist Dirty Donny is scheduled to appear at this years event!  As a guest speaker as well as selling his amazing art, he will be on hand all weekend to sign your Stern Metallica items, answer your questions, and of course take selfies with you! ;D  He is the first of several special guest announcements, and we are stoked to have Dirty Donny on board! 

We have several other big announcements in the works including a star line-up of guests, show & tournament news, game-donation information, and show schedules, so sign up now!

While the current survey is meant to help us understand what people want in a  pinball tournament (and thanks for the great feedback and information so far, it helps immensely) there will be a few future surveys to gather everyone's feedback on what to do with the show floor itself, vip perks and a couple other things.  This event doesn't happen without the community so we are doing our best to make sure that all of you have an easy way to be heard in guiding what we do!

This year can you build the world's biggest Gorf? Or three?

Groovy, so it's happening the weekend prior to IAAPA,
it'll be neat to experience IAAPA at the start instead of the end then.

I remember last year John, from John's Arcade was listed on the FPF page as a guest speaker. Was pretty excited about it, but then later he was removed and when I asked him about it he said it would have been too close to Thanksgiving (family plans). This year FPF is scheduled a bit earlier. Any talks with John for 2016?
