NACHI 2008 Convention (survey)

[Chris Morrell, CTO]

Hey folks,

If you have a chance, please take a few moments to answer a couple survey questions that will help us choose the best location and format for 2008. It shouldn't take more than 3 minutes.

Take the 2008 Convention Survey now

Cheers,

[Greg Bell]

Right on Greg. The ITA Expo was a great success last year, it was hard to make it to all the training though, I'm only allowed to go to Vegas if my wife comes along, we had a great time there. I lived there for a couple of years, so during the EXPO we stayed in a Hotel OFF Strip, cheaper, quieter, and better odds on the "machines", once you've been there an have seen the "lights", go local, save money, and play better odds. Plus of course attend the convention.

Also I'd like to see spouse's allowed either free or for a small fee to the non-inspection or training functions, so that they can attend things like dinners and evening happenings.

What good is this survey when I took it once form the link Chris gave and then received 2 e-mails for the same survey today?

I didn't take it 3 times but I could have.

I think it has been posted many times that wives can attend for a much reduced rate .
I think I paid ($50:00)? for my wife in Floridia.

$50 would be great, but it seems to me that it was much higher for Orlando last year, I thought it was a couple of hundred or more, maybe that was the ITA EXPO.

Of course if the 08' Convention is $99 like the 07' it wouldn't matter.

It was only $50, I think my wife was in Trial during the time so she couldn't come.

Why aren't there more choices of cities around the country. There isn't any representation of the midwest. Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Detroit, Indianapolis just to name a few cities that are huge with convention buisness and some of these have the biggest airport hubs in the country to accomadate all types of schedules and price choices.

What about Denver? The Democratic Convention is being held in Denver, its in the midwest, and it has one of the largest airports in the country.

You just had a Convention in the Midwest, in Toronto. Last year was in the East, Orlando.

Most natives West of the Continental Divide consider Denver to be in the Mid West, the West begins at the Divide.

It's the West's turn.....Vegas!
