I wish. I have to miss this one due to conflicting travel schedules.

Have fun,

I will not be there :( I have almost no plecos left, so I have nothing to sell. I am getting rid of more fish and tanks, so I cannot buy anything either. :(

What I will miss are the people.

Headed to the airport. Looking forward to seeing everyone this afternoon!
Will do my best to add some photos to this thread.

Catcon was great, so glad TFCB took it on. It was great to see everyone there (and meet some more PC people in person).

Nothing beats hanging out with catfish people. Hopefully I'll see you all again at future Catcons (🤞) and maybe some other events.

Did they announce a location and/or date for the next CatCon? I've heard rumor, but I'd rather not repeat it in case it's false.

Nothing was officially announced, unless I missed it. There was a lot of talk that there will almost certainly (but not 100% definitely) be another Catcon, but it wasn't concrete yet where it would be. They mentioned the west coast was a possibility.

But maybe someone else has more details than I do?

It was a super fun weekend, I'm so glad I was invited over and could hang out with my Catfish Family! Great talks, great people, nice place (Burlington), excellent pizza and wildly varied air temperatures! 😅

Fantastic job by the Tropical Fish Club of Burlington hosting the event. Ran smooth as silk. Thank you! Was great to see old friends and make new ones.
