I have only been a member for 3 years has there even been any discussion about a FT yearly convention. This may be difficult with 450,000 members located accross the world. Is this why there are the at times the FT meetups. It would be a huge convention maybe bringing in the airlines, hotel, and rental car companies. After all we are the customers.
Another option would be breaking up conventions to location, say in the US have one on the west coast, midwest, east coast. Just a thought.
