I will ask Bob to chime in here. There have been other meetings done locally by Bob and still others instigated by clients that other people attended and professional conventions. That said Dave provided most of the more recent history. I doubt, but don't know for sure , if PB broke even on the last convention.

I think there will be a national convention in March 08 with national scope speakers. I sure don't want to do anything to undercut that as it is the ultimate PB experience. Bob will need our collective support for the convention to be a success. I think that about 40% of the attendees were forum members many in multiple roles ( vendor or speaker and attendee).
