Thank you for your reply.
I assume from previous posts, that were Dayton to be a consideration,
it would be for... 2002!?

Also, are there not other considerations besides a local stereo club
and whether a couple of hundred stereo photography hobbyists can
turn the local economy around...  ?

i.e. space, cost (accomodations, meals, facilities), local area (interesting
sights, proximity to "town"), transportation costs, membership
interest, etc, ... ?

Having the convention in Rochester was nice because Kodak was nearby -
though I don't know how much they actually _participated_ in the
convention...

In Atlanta, 3-D Magic snubbed the entire group.
Getting from the airport to the hotel cost $30.00 - $50.00 (if you didn't
know the best kept secret i.e. the "Subway" could get you there for $1.00!)

Thanks,
