This is definitely something that will take a long time to plan, I've wanted to do it for a long time already so I'm glad this thread is going.
As far as location, it would be a national thing, not a bunch of separate conventions. Naturally I'd like it to be somewhere everyone could enjoy regardless of the convention, Miami or Vegas or New Orleans or SF, if we're gonna do it we're gonna do it

Likely will try to work a deal with a hotel wherever we decide that has convention halls there or closeby, to get deals for anyone who's coming to the convention.

We have ALOT more active members than that. Roughly 1500-2000 different registered members log-in to the forum at least once every 30-60 days. Either way there would be a cap on admissions, meaning regardless only so many people will be able to obtain admission until slots run out. I would think this limit could be no more than 200 attendees, but I'd say 100 is a comfortable number one could likely expect to make a commitment like this one.
I've been involved in several conventions and it's always a great time, networking and learning with other similar minds in the industry. The thing about having a national 'convention' rather than local 'meet-ups', you know only people truly serious and passionate about this business will go, which in all reality would make the experience a better one for everyone involved.
