Just a bug in everybody's ears. Wife and I have been talking about hosting a PBF get together (similar to Highflyers event) for the last couple years. It definitely will be low key and the cost will be zilch. Tentative date Sept 22, 2018. But I will start a separate thread about it. Kansas is about as central as you can get.
Hope that happens and works well. Start early and id people in your draw area and let them know. Ask them what they are interested in hearing about. Pick a time that people are free to come. Not harvest time or opening day of hunting season. Call Bob and tell him what is up and get him on the schedule . He can provide names - both PB and non-PB. There are other marketing aspects that the PB office can help with if you choose to go that route.
Highflier's event is PB friends and I don't think any marketing to outsiders is involved. No speakers either. The prior regional meetings are a bit different in that they were marketed to non-PB folks and speakers were involved to some extent. The speakers were PB members - a round table discussion type presentation.
Both work - its just a different approach.

The BC attendance varied but was smaller than the first TX meetings. IIRC the Second Conf (Arlington II) was the biggest. I cant say about which had the biggest paid attendance vs number of people.
