Went for Popcorn, and The Threads Were Gone...

[c_dwyer]

Sorry to ask this two-part question, as the answer that I'm most interested in is related to the first. There were two threads posted and one classified listing (an advertisement, really...) for an item yesterday that were quite hoaky, and subsequently the threads were locked pending an investigation. Anyway, was there a ruling on those threads, or did they move straight to the cut off bin?

More importantly was the last posting in the second thread which indicated the manufacturer would be at the Festool Connect, and folks could check out the item there. Having other vendors at Connect seemed very strange to me based on the previous ones, but quite interesting and a novel idea on Festool's part, or so I thought.  Then came lock-time, for good reason (I think?), but left me wondering about the last posting.

So, without ripping the scab off, will the upcoming Connect be 100% Festool as it has been in the past, or will other manufacturers be invited to exhibit their items that specifically "connect" with Festool as well?

I was wondering the same thing (minus the popcorn). I also saw on the vendors site that they had partnered with Festool on the project and was curious what that was all about.

Hope to hear some details here!  And it will be good to see some of you at Connect.

Cheers. Bryan.

I'm at a tradeshow this week, so I'm a bit slow on responses.

Shaper will be the only "vendor" at Connect, and I'm not sure that I would even identify their presence in that way. They're new friends, and so we've invited them to come. Other than that, it will be all-Festool.

Thank you Seth and Tyler, I didn't want to perpetuate anything or identify poster's.  You've answered my question as I first thought, about being a guest and having it 100% Festool.

And now, back to our regularly scheduled programs...
