Yes. The main VCF event is September 15/16 at the San Jose Convention
Center.
I'm still searching for a suitable venue for VCF East 1.0. I was all set
to do it at the Rhodes Island Convention Center but their fees are too
high.
It's probably too late to actually get something going this year, but
has nay consideration been given to holding it at a college rather than
a Convention Center?? Scranton, PA is pretty well located at the
junctions of I81 (north/south), I84 (east to NE), I380 (southeast towards
Nj and NYC), I80 (east/west) and the Northeast Extension of he PA Turnpike
(which has an I number, but I don't know it but it heads straight to
Pilladelphia).
We even have our own airport. :-)
Lot's of hotels/motels. And I would imagine the facilities here are
a lot cheaper than most Convention Centers.
What I don't know is what facilities are needed and how many people
you expect to need support for.
Anybody want to talk aboit it??
