I know this event is in New Hampshire and not Massachusetts. Though, Nashua is on the NH/MA border. Nashua is easy to get to from MA as it is on a major highway and not far from where several major highways connect in MA. Even for people in MA, this is the biggest liberty event of the year. Heck, it's always the biggest liberty of the year in New England (besides Porcfest in Lancaster, NH)

2013 Liberty Forum from 2-21 to 2-24 in Nashua, NH

The 2013 Liberty Forum happens from February 21st to February 24th (Thursday through Sunday) in Nashua, New Hampshire at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. http://freestateproject.org/libertyforum

This year, there will be many great speakers including: Tom Woods, Jack Spirko, Jeffrey Albert Tucker, Julie Borowski, Pete Eyre, Tarrin P. Lupo, Ron Paul's Freaking Giant and the controversial Lee Doren. There are also several speakers that made the move to NH and then did really cool stuff in NH. Plus, there will be several panels coverage a wide range of subjects, including a jobs panel. Of course, there any many other speakers and some speakers are still unannounced.

If you have high school kids, bring them as kids under 18 accompanied with their parents are free. If you are in college, you get a 50% discount.

Liberty Forum tickets are no longer discounted. They are now full price. That means $119 for regular tickets. $59.5 for college students with a college ID. And still free for those under 18.

But don't worry, with the ticket discounts ending, comes several new announcements. My favorite at that not only was Vermin Supreme announced as a speaker, he will also screen his documentary at Liberty Forum during the late night hours. You still have time to get your tickets. The discounted hotel rooms ran out but you can try sharing a room with someone else or get a room at another hotel or motel in Nashua, NH starting at $50 plus tax.

Nashua to host seventh annual Liberty forum

Liberty Forum started today.

Friday is going to be amazing.

Saturday is going to be huge and a unique experience.

Sunday may become extra long as a snow storm is likely from Saturday evening into the day Sunday. It's possible that flights will be delayed so plan for that. I'm bringing snowshoes to Liberty Forum, in case it snows. See me and you will be able to sample the super fun activity know as snowshoeing. It is also a very inexpensive activity. Even $50 snowshoes last years and years.

If you attend Liberty Forum, don't forget to take advantage of the last few days of Porcfest early registration for only $35, a $15 savings from the regular price.

The most recent Nashua Telegraph article on Liberty Forum follows.

Certain speeches are live streaming from Liberty Forum. The main issue on Friday was the question and answer sessions after the speeches. The questioners didn't have microphones so unless the answerers repeated the questions, the sessions were a little confusing. Live streaming should continue on Saturday. The stream is the School Sucks Podcast ustream channel. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/schoolsuckspodcast

Did you enjoy attending Liberty Forum? Did you enjoy watching much of it live? Did you enjoy listening to Free Talk Live's coverage of Liberty Forum, live, on location? Did you enjoy listening to the podcast and other live radio shows that covered Liberty Forum?

Here is some additionally media coverage.

In the Sunday edition of the Nashua Telegraph (the newspaper for the 2nd largest city in NH) 3 of the 4 front page stories were about the Liberty Forum. All 3 articles were mostly positive :)

Reminder, it's another year. That means it's time for the largest liberty conference of the year in New England.

The 2014 Liberty Forum happens from Feb 20th to Feb 23rd in Nashua, New Hampshire at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. http://nhlibertyforum.com/

The 2014 speakers include: Jeffrey Albert Tucker, Amanda Billyrock, James Bovard, Bill Buppert, Thomas Drake, Mark Edge, Bruce Fenton, Ian Freeman, Mark Warden, Cody Wilson and Naomi Wolf. Of course, there any many other speakers and some speakers are still unannounced. See more. http://schedule.nhlibertyforum.com/

The early bird special for the 4 day conference long ago passed, but the regular price is still just $150. Thursday is entirely free so if money is tight, no worries. If you just want to attend the evening events on Friday or Saturday, that's $30 each.

http://nhlibertyforum.com/

I believe Friday is the last day to buy tickets online. After that, you will have to get them at the door. They may cost more at the door.
