Convention Banquet Attire?
hplott replied to ralph4hand's topic in About the IPMS/USA National Convention
Put me down on the casual side. Like Mike Moore, I am on vacation at most Nationals so I prefer to be comfortable. Suits are reserved for church, funerals, job interviews, some weddings and business functions in my case. This time after working the convention up till a few minutes before the start of the banquet last thing I wanted was to put on a coat and tie! But, like Jodie said no hat at the dinner table(those undergoing cancer treatment not included). No host is going to impose something that will restrict attendance to the banquet as that does hurt the bottom line and whether some want to admit it or not, the convention is first and foremost a business and has to be treated as such from the financial perspective. The banquet is what helps make the convention affordable to put on.So in that case it is necessary. Food sales help offset the rental costs and this makes the large venues we require affordable to the society. Without the banquet you would probably see registration costs skyrocket. So while the banquet is not for everyone, supporting it does help keep the convention more viable cost wise. -
Due to fire regulations there will be NO additional seating or standing in the banquet room available for the awards ceremony, only those attending the banquet will be allowed in that room. Seating and a TV broadcast of the ceremony will be available in the Lexington A Room along with a cash bar..

2016 convention registration

Meeting this Saturday to set the date. IPMS/USA has been working on some credit card acceptance issues. -
Eric: You have the city limits population for Columbia. The population for the metropolitan area is 737k just an FYI. How is this relevant? Attendees of events like this have the tab picked up by their employer, or write it off as a business expense. Some people save for years to go to an IPMS National event. When was the last time the Nats were held in the NE....huge population centers(Boston, NYC, Philly, etc) with potential for lots of walk ins.
