"PTG Convention is focused on teaching...."

Hi Patrick,
                    In Canada the Canadian Association of Piano 
Technicians,  makes a point of partnershiping  with Universities and 
Colleges.  It can be a win, win situation. The University ends up with some 
of their pianos being up graded, because we also run a large component of 
our annual convention as a hands on technical institute.  They provide 
space at low cost.
Much cheaper than renting hotel conference rooms, also AV aids are usually 
supplied at minimal cost.
I could not see this working for the National, but it could work very well 
for many regional conferences.
Having chaired several of these events, I see no down side.  In fact it 
helps with the organizations visibility and image.
Partnerships is going to be very important in many ways, to the healthy 
growth of the guild.
Just my thoughts on the topic.

Regards Roger
