This thread is for ideas, suggestions, proposals, etc. NO idea is too silly to mention :) although some might be too impractical to implement.

As possibilities become probabilities, I will create another thread for the Con itself and concrete facts/decisions/information.

I like the idea of a convention on the water. Perhaps a cruise on the Nile? With a catacomb exploration in one of the pyramids? And a 12,000 $ reward for who finds the final clue?

Hmmm....

Well I have just had a quick look at Cincinnati and I must say it looks good to me. I checked out some downtown hotel prices for end of June and they are good and include breakfast. I also looked at events at that time and there are riverboat cruises. Also 60% of the population is within 500 miles so it says...hehehe
Can you tell I had fun and want to meet more of you :)

They have several conventions throughout the year here in Dallas as well. We have a lot of hotels with space and they've been excellent with working with us. Some times we even have it at the hotel at the airport, so talk about ease of getting to the hotel! Fly in, and you're there. I know the organizers of the cons here, I can get with one of them and see if they'd consider letting us join in with them at a con.

To bring this topic back up for more suggestions.

Was in chat and people were giving opinions on what they would like to see.

Please post here so we can see what people actually want to do, realisticaly.

--It has to be in the US (or someone can organize a Euro Sleuth Con as well)
--It likely needs to be in late June to late Aug
--It likely needs to be on a weekend
--It likely needs to be somewhere in the Mid West (or West Coast)
--Needs to be easily accessable (bigger city, etc.)
--Needs to be family friendly (so that those not involved in the Con have something to do)

Any one have some ideas to add?

I dont particularly agree with the timeframe. I think we could all save a lot of money if it were more off-season.

I definitely agree with Biggie, and if it's school that's an issue doing it over a holiday weekend, not the big holidays, is still really cheap for hotels.

When we planned Sleuth Con I we originally had it in early May and everyone rejected that idea and wanted it in June after school was out.

Does anyone have a suggestion for an actual time/date that would be better?

The biggest cost is not the hotel room for sleeping (which does go up and down) but the rental of space to host, which does not change through out the year.
