[QUOTE="Glyfair, post: 3244822, member: 53"] IIRC, the traditional wisdom is that, all other things being equal, it's best to hold coventions in the middle of the most dense populations. Unfortunately, the East Coast has priced itself out of the market. Origins used to rotate between the east coast and elsewhere (Baltimore the last few years). When the Baltimore convention center & hotels increased their fees again. they had to move. I know the American Contract Bridge League struggles with similiar issues reguarly. They discovered the most popular choice for the National tournaments was actually Las Vegas. Lots for the non-bridge playing family members to do, things to do during your tournament down time, close affordable places for food and lower fees (since they expect more gambling during the convention). It was during the time Hasbro was divesting itself (and WotC) of the non-core businesses. They sold off their software company, WotC sold off their retail stores, and they sold GenCon. [/QUOTE]
