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??
