great question Mike.

At looking the spread on WCAF and PPFA/PMA, I would be interested to know (and I'm sure PPFA would like to know too), "what would get people more interested to come to the PPFA?"

Which leads me to another question of "How do you spread/split your time at the shows?"

And what drives you to a certain show over others... vendor? education? Location?

And the HUGE question... If a convention was spread over a whole week, and everything was ONLY in the morning... (ie: four days of education & 2 days of vendor floor... 7am till noon), and it was held on Maui, HI..... would you be more likely to go?

Click to expand...

I'd probably go every year.

Hey why don't we alternate - could be 2 yrs in hawai, 2 years in Florida, 2 yrs in Alaska, 2 yrs on a Carribean cruise boat - I'd go every year for sure - even at a higher cost - AND - I'd probably be more likely to take along my wife to take some courses and every second year I'd send my employee. (Hope she isn't reading this!)
 
HEY - What about the Australian show?

You list France, Italy and UK, but what about Australia?
There are more USA visitors to the Australian show than to the French show!
Anyway we should mention it simply out of respect to Osgood!
Its July 20 - 22nd in Sydney.
 
Just a reminder that this one is down to the final days...

Has everyone taken a moment to vote? Are there any comments about next year's shows?

WCAF is only 4 weeks away! Where did the time go?

Mike
 
I will be at WCAF in Vegas, but seriously considering going to the PPFA in Vegas in March as well. I didn't have enough time to fit all the classes in that I would like to take at WCAF , and maybe could in March.....will see !
