    I can confirm that it seem to have been a hoax from day one,  the event organizer as listed on the website number is not available, the venue  knows nothing about it at all, furthermore I just had a discussion with one of  the exhibitors listed on the website, who confirmed that it will not happen.
Sad that this is the case, I did notice that there will be  one in October 2013 at Gallagher. As advertised in TCFF. Let’s hope that one  goes through.

        I was told by one of the exhibitors listed on their site, that they were approached  by the organiser who in turn made a lot of promises, so they said they would  like to be part of it, all these logos it seems were used to convince more exhibitors  that this will be a big event. As we had no reason for the cancelation earlier  this year, and Heartfelt arena have no listing of this event in the coming weekend, I think it’s safe to  say it will not happen. The website was last updated in June 28 2011 according  to the home page...  So please don’t believe  the website it will not be happening.
