Here are the replies to the common concerns.
Tickets for the entire weekend experience begin at $399 (VIP tickets are accessible for $499). A ticket can ensure you to get direct access to Marc and Angel and all speakers throughout the weekend who are there to help you and access to all the keynotes and workshops. Because all seating is allocated (分配) to individual attendees at this event, all tickets sold are final. We have worked with the Catamaran Resort to provide discounted room rates to our attendees. Rooms will be $199/night. You will receive the reservation link once your TBLB tickets have been bought.
TBLB main events take place from Friday, February 9th to Sunday, February 11th (which includes opening parties, special events, and all main-stage sessions). For the planners out there, it will be best to arrive in San Diego on Friday, February 9th and leave on Monday, February 12th for the complete TBLB experience. If you can’t come for that long, at least make sure that you’re there by Saturday morning (8: 30am), the 10th, and leave no earlier than Sunday evening (5:00 pm), the 11th.
