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. --Brett At 12:35 PM 3/27/2000 , bitsurfer wrote: >Why not in the Chicago area???
