At the advice of other forum members, I am shifting my thread regarding a SE conference to here.

Not sure what all is involved, cause I'm still a newbie to this forum, but if a Southeastern conference is something you'd be up for, perhaps you should post something here for the Bose people to notice...

Tres,

Read through this if you haven't already:

http://bose.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/292105355/m/4451077094

Actually, I do remember reading that thread awhile back...

Just trying to keep the interest up!

Oh, yeah, absolutely. It appears to have been pretty quiet, conference-talk-wise, so if nothing is being discussed by others "incognito", then this is a good place to keep the talks going. And don't be afraid (not that you are, mind you) to take the initiative and run with it, yourself.

I'm unable to 'run' with anything at this time..but I'm watching with interest. I LOVED the conference up at the Bose Bat-Cave, and I'd be thrilled to take part in another one closer to home - I'm here in East Tennessee keepin' an ear/eye open.

I wonder if there's a good spot just outside of Atlanta - sure is an ez place to fly into. ( and only 4 hours drive for me <G> )

A few people have brought up Jacksonville. That sounds pretty good, closer for non-Florida folks than Tampa or Orlando which has a good base of L1 users, but is probably to busy and tourist heavy.

Anyway, I'm interested in seeing how this plays out.

Just adding my voice to the chorus of folks interested in a south east conference. Not sure if I can run with it, but I'd consider collaborating. Only problem is I'm probably not south enough as I am in the DC area. (near the Blue Ridge Mountains or, as Coloradoans(?) might call them, "foot hills".

As I stated elsewhere, I only mentioned Jacksonville because someone else did, it really doesn't matter to me.

We have another SEC thread going somewhere, if I can find out how, I'll move those discussions over here. Or perhaps the Admin has to do that.

Actually, I haven't the foggiest what's involved. But I'm self employed, and have time to do this, once I find out what all is required. I am a newbie, afterall

Seriously, if I can do it, I will just need some criteria/guidelines/input from y'all.

Tres,

There are so ideas about the ideal location here
Ken's key points for an L1™ event.

To be self-employed is a marvelous thing, indeed. Finding the balance between fun, self-employed work, and fun, Bose Conference planning is difficult.

When I suggest you run with it, I just mean lead the discussion. You've kind of done that already. The rest will begin to fall into place and you'll "learn" very quickly. The best thing about these is that they each stand on their own, so there is never a worry about trying to "replicate" a previous experience. Sure there are point similarities, but the experiences and strengths of each are completely different. Bring your own vibe!

Thanks! A great burden has been lifted from my chest!

ST: I've read the key points of Ken's; I'll brush up on it again and start thinking...

To reiterate:

We will support you in this and other conference efforts.

Whole.

Heartedly.

Ken

Harder for Tres to organize, but I am voting for some place a little farther north than Florida. Georgia? "Carolina in the Pines?"

or...

The Colonel and O could hook up to host in Kentucky! - The only place I have ever heard Carrie say she would like to live (if not here at home...where the heart is ).

Okay, selfishly, I am thinking about driving distance...

Kentucky is fine with me.

Being in Northern Virginia, I would certainly vote for pretty much anywhere in the Appalachians.

That goes for me too. (also Northern VA)

John

May.

K.

Say.

Yay.

Anywhere is alright...

I agree with Drumr that anywhere is alright....BUT..... N. VA. is a long away for people in South Florida, Miami, Tampa etc. I think somewhere central like Atlanta would be better choice. Another idea is if Bose could look at the sales records and see where the systems are being used. I know there are a lot of users in Hilton Head S.C. etc. Another idea is to have more of these spread out just everywhere. West, North, South, East, Midwest, Midil Atlantic, you get the idea. You guy's at Bose are smart. You must get a per diem so let's go.
