How about a thread wrap up?
Conventions are about Fellowship, Forums and Flea Markets. Which do you use
to evaluate the event?
Dayton is a cattle drive, too spread out, old facilities, too many propeller
heads. Visalia is crowded and geographically inconvenient. Technical forums
are usually pretty droll, except if you are extracting info you need.
Presentations are most always dull because it is not a requirement to have any
public speaking skills to go on a DX pedition.
So change that which you can, accept that which you can't and have the
wisdom to accept the difference. I ran Houston Ham Conventions for a number of
years and will not criticize the efforts to put events like these together.
Neither should you critics unless you have event-management experience and are
ready to jump in and take charge. Anyway, I go for the fellowship, so I am
never disappointed.
