This will be worth the trip, if only to see if some people are as opinionated and argumentative in person. ;)
 
Agreed. While I imagine the plurality, if not outright majority, of the RFF membership is located in the USA, it would be good to find a location that's convenient for people flying in from far away.

Hang with a bunch of fat old guys around a table in some cheap hotel lounge talking about bokeh and going strapless? How about going somewhere with photo ops like Cambodia?
 
Count me in. Oregon would be great! How about somewhere along the coast? Or else, Portland (our fair city) would be a good choice full of great photo-opps.

Vancouver would be great! BTW, I grew up in Canadia (as I've heard some more ignorant "Americans" call their northern neighbor). My best friend lives in Vancouver. A visit is in order.

How about Martinsburg, Iowa? It is near the middle of the USA and both of the residents would be greatly suprised if a couple hundred photographers showed up.

Content is king. What would HAPPEN at such a conference? As someone else said, would it just be a bunch of guys sitting around arguing about bokeh? Or an exhibit of weird paint jobs for Feds and Zorkis? (That would be very cool to see, but I wouldn't attend a conference just for that.)

Or would it be more a presentations/seminars/workshops type of conference? ("8:00 am -- Elliott Erwitt on 'the rangefinder aesthetic'; 9:30 am -- Leica factory pass-around demo of M8 prototypes; 11:00 am -- William Ewing lecture: 'Cartier-Bresson or Capa -- Which One Was the Poncing Poseur?'; 12:30 pm -- lunch with Nikon engineers and preview of SPX-d; 2 pm -- How-to with Oleg on replacing Zorki shutter curtains"... that kind of thing.)

Or would it be mostly social, shooting trips, drinking, lying, etc?

I'm not expressing a preference, just want to know what the thought is here.

Wayne, that's the best suggestion yet. Hell I'd go. JimG
 
I'm interested, but like everyone else has said, lead time would be an important factor. Location isn't a big deal for me; as long as it's in North America, it's easy enough to get to.

Any ideas what kind of schedule there would be? Guest speakers, workshops, parties?
 
Okay, just my two cents worth, but it seems that a lot of people are concerned with lead time and location.

There are a lot of members located outside North America and maybe if we were to choose a location outside of N.A. with enough lead time, a good portion of those who are located in N.A. could make it.

Just a thought.... What if this conference were to be tied in with the Visa Pour L'image conference in Perpignan, France for, let's say Sept. 07? Thus not only will we be able to have a good conference of our own, but also enjoy the Visa conference and exhibits as well.

Just my two cents worth,
