Future Sites for Annual Conventions?

[Barbara Richmond]

Toronto 1987, I think.  It was also a big meeting of the IAPBT which helped boost attendance.

  I went to a PTG Canadian convention in the late 80's It was the largest attended one they ever had, 1100 +/- .
  The only problem that I think I remember was a Canadian Customs agent in the exhibition hall. Mind you I just think that, I am not sure.
  If the suppliers boycotted the Rochester Convention, because of the New York tax laws, I imagine the border crossing would be a worse nightmare.
  How about chartering a cruise ship, and cruise the Caribbean, that would be a convention to remember. :-)

    Next year's will be Jun 20-24 and will be in Kansas City, again--probably because it will be the 50th Annual Convention of the PTG. 

    Don't know if other sites have been chosen or announced.

    You and Isaac and Roger, et al (whoever 'al' is?) should lobby for a Canadian venue. That would be great--just make sure it's a year when the dollar exchange rate is favorable to those of us south of the border.

    Does anyone know, if the future sites for the annual convention, have been decided?
    If so would you please post them. ( I added that, in case someone came back with the answer, Yes. :-))
