Chicago is a possibility. However, its trade unions are known to
exploit trade show organizers and exhibitors and so make it more
difficult to hold a trouble-free convention.

The size of the city isn't really an issue so long as it has
good air transportation and a sufficiently large hotel to hold
the convention. Currently, the BSDs are still gathering steam,
so a moderately large suburban or urban hotel would do. The
Adam's Mark in Denver, for example, is known to be a very good
venue for conventions and offers highly discounted weekend rates.
