There are a lot of things to think about and more ideas to review. It takes a lot of work to put on the PB conv. You have to have staff in place to do it and they have to be there for much of the work. You have to be close enough to enough members so that most don't have to pay to fly and stay. As Jeff noted we need higher attendance levels. You have a fair % of local vendors that are required to make this work. There are some very good and loyal nationwide vendors who will go to a good location but not enough to cover the possible loss of the local vendors.
George thanks for the thought about Jackson but DFW or other locations are much better.
It may be a while before we have another convention because of planning and timing.
There are other options. We could do regional meetings as have been done in the past. They are very good but just not a full scale convention with vendors and booths. They would be easier to do at remote locations due to costs.
