FT Convention
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.

Who would pay the underwriting/organizational expenses of these conventions? I just don't see Internet Brands underwriting the amount of staff you would need with something of the scale that you suggest. It's a little beyond the time commitment that volunteers presently commit when organizing local events.

The topic of this thread purposely has a double meaning:
- What and when was the largest gathering of the most FlyerTalk members at one time to date?
- Shall we attempt to break that record, starting with this thread?
