Some questions:

What is the time frame on an agenda?

It's being discussed and a few topics are in rough outline now. So details will be starting to emerge over the next month or two. I know that two speakers are lined up and a third is being spoken to that I know about.

@Minion-Queen for those of us who won't be needing a hotel is there a price difference, just an admission pass?

Minion Queen

The admissions pass will be the same price for everyone.

DustinB3403

@Minion-Queen Thank you for confirming!

Minion Queen

Admissions covers: 3 meals a day, snacks, coffee, tea, pop etc. and happy hour each day.

If you do the "after event" wine trail, you could head back south from Ithaca and already be down south in NY.

I heard "pop" in Iowa and Nebraska as well.

Ummm, pop is a Western NY and southern tier thing. Syracuse area it's soda and Albany area it's soda.
