sharkinman44 Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 I know I saw a similar topic somewhere before, but anyways, are there bidders and will 2020 and 2021 be chosen this year or will that be in Chattanooga? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJMisiolek Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Dave is absolutely correct, we will be accepting bids and hosting presentations for both the 2020 and 2021 National Conventions in Phoenix. TJ Misiolek 2nd VP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcorley Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 TJ Is it a secret or can we know who is bidding? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jholt Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 I saw over on Hyperscale someone saying that San Marcos, TX is going to give it another try in bidding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkinman44 Posted June 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 We have had knowledge of who was bidding before hand in the past have we not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRechlicz Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 I have heard that San Marcos and Portland were considering bidding. Not sure how accurate it is. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralph4hand Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 I have always enjoyed the Bid presentations, making my selection, and then hearing the winner announced at the Banquet. 😀 The suspense is fun! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Who/where is the "San Marco TX" club? There's no TX chapter listed under that name, nor does any of the TX chapters list a San Marcos as their home town.... The only "San" club seems to be IPMS Alamo Squadron in San Antonio.

EFGrune Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) SanMarcos is located midway between Austin, TX and SanAntonio. Its location as a convention site for us makes economic sense. It is a short drive to either of these cities and the museums/facilities they offer. Fredericksburg, TX and the Museum of the Pacific War/Nimitz Museum is a short drive. Houston (NASA, USS Texas) is a bit more. The IPMS chapters in Texas have committed their assistance in putting on the show. SanMarcos has an Embassy Suites based convention center, for your better half there are several outlet malls nearby Air access via either Austin/Bergstom airport or SanAntonio International Edited June 20, 2018 by EFGrune additional info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Deliduka Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 George I'm not sure why the 2020 Nationals committee would announce a Chattanooga hotel. They are having their Nationals in Texas. Can you clarify that question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes they have announced a hotel and I am sure the web site will be open soon. Not sure what hotel was noted Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFGrune Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 The convention hotel in Chattanooga is the Marriott. There are several other hotel chains in the downtown area. For the eclectic there is the Choo Choo where you can stay in old railroad sleeper cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
