I, too, really hope it happens again this year. Had a ton of fun when I was there last year and am really looking forward to it.

Thanks guys for asking about the show!
Yes, I am planning on a 2009 show. But it won't be at the Marriott. Honestly, all the venues I've contacted will cost me more to do the show than ever before. So far the best looking venue will also be the smallest show I've ever done, and still cost more.
I can tell you this.. I'm thinking of a middle of October timeframe this year. Ideally, I would like to host the event this year on the 24th of Oct.
Just have to see... but it is in the works.
Glad to hear that the convention is a go!
Have you considered having it at a venue other than a hotel? (not sure where that would be, just curious)
Have you considered having it in Oklahoma City?
I'd assume he'd have it in Tulsa, since that's where he lives. And Oklahoma City already has their own show (what there is of it). I liked the Marriott, but if they're charging more and more each year, it becomes a losing proposition after a while.
There is more with the Marriott than just higher fees. The Marriott is out this year, because they changed directors again... and this one came with new rules. One of the rules is that they pretty much allow booking of the rooms for at least a year out now.Originally Posted by Steve W
As such, the Marriott is booked from here to Christmas for the space we need. In the past they used to contact me each year to see when I might be looking to host the event again. That didn't happen this time.
So.. I have two possible venues lined up.. both really nice. But... they cost a lot. So I would have to partner with others for backing.
Just have to see... but I do still plan on a 2009 event.
