2006 Symposium

[Dave Peebles]

Hello all,

I was just wondering if anyone knows why the next symposium will run from Thursday through Saturday instead of the traditional Friday through Sunday.

Also, I have a few pics of the 2005 K.C. Symposium on my web site. It is mostly the vendors area. But I have some of the instant gallery that I will be adding this weekend.

Unsure.............

but I would suspect it is an attempt to allow attendees to arrive home in time to start a new week. The current setup requires, vacation time in two work weeks. The new scheduling would require only one. Again this is merely my reasoning and may not be very accurate.

Dave,
Thanks for the photos!

Dave - I am pretty sure the symposium moved to (Thur-Sat) instead of (Fri-Sun) next year because reservations were not made early enough. My understanding is that it is too late to change it at this point for that particular conference hall.

Jeff, that's not 100% accurate.

The reservation was made in plenty of time ( we work 2 to 3 years out)

The Galt House had a conflict in the scheduling of our symposium and another event that "MUST" happen on the Sunday. Since we have, in the past, varied the days that the symposium will run depending on availability we chose to stay with the Galt House and not choose a different venue.

It seems that the vendors like the idea as it gives them a day to get back to thier normal routine and from what I see in the posts above the membership does not seem to mind either.

It would be interesting to have a poll to see what the membership thinks.

Angelo - thanks for the correction. It will be interesting to see what folks think about this move of the Symposium to Thursday - Saturday.

I think it was a surprise to the vendors also, at least the ones I talked to.

This, plus revelation of the identity of Deep Throat, extinguishes all of the Level One mysteries in my life. It's all down hill from here!

No problem with the Thurs-Sat routine; leaves me a full day to sober up.

Thanks for the info everyone. I knew there must have been a good reason.

Glad you liked the pics Vince. The weekend is draining away and I still haven't got the instant gallery up yet.... Maybe tomorrow

Thanks again,
Dave
