These could be any type of event where we could setup a table or have our members meet.

Alcor conference in Arizona, in October.

 

SENS conference in San Francisco in August.

I was thinking we should venture into more mainstream health conferences. We won't be as likely to gain larger followings by "preaching to the choir."

 

Recently heard about the natural products expo. That one, or others like it might be a good fit.

I have probably attended 30+ of the EXPO's.

 

There is a lot of traffic there, so LC might gain some participants by boothing at an EXPO.

 

However, unless a company has seniority, the booths that are available are outliers, not centrally located.

 

Still, there's a lot of traffic. However, it is what the booth has that determines how much attention it gets.

 

Then a consideration is EXPO East or West?

 

I think that EXPO West has many more attendees. 

 

One thing is for sure, booking hotel rooms, etc... early helps, because companies book rooms at the main hotels that are close to EXPO years in advance.

Are there lots of conventions and expos like this? Where can we find a list?

[mikey]

There are only two BIG natural products expo's.

 

All others are tiny by comparison.

 

New Hope Communications runs them. They're in Boulder.

As I said, EXPO West is the biggest.
