bernie organized two perfect Düsseldorf events - the first one in november 2000 without having been at any FlyerTalk Do before.
tropicalflyer, PremEx, Catman and I organized the (first) PiP without having been at any FlyerTalk Do at all. I think all that attended the PiP would not prefer to have missed it because nobody organized a do before ...
I believe to know that FlyerTalk now has about 10'000 active posters and above 100'000 lurkers.
If the 'average' attendance at an 'average' do is about 25 than it would take 400 Do a year for every active FlyerTalk-poster (or 4'000 including the lurkers) to attend just one Do / year ... I don't believe that there can be too many 'meeting' opportunities for new and 'old' FlyerTalkers whenever and whereever that may be!
