[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 479661, member: 1365"] A few thoughts from my years as annual conference planner for several state professional organizations...Oregon & Alaska...not necessarily in logical order: Give yourself 6 or better yet 9 months minimum in advance at least for planning. Yes, limit the event to pipes & pipe tobaccos. Get a venue that allows pipe smoking indoors and a Saturday date tentatively set. Contact reps from various pipe makers and tobacco companies for attendance. Contact individual artisan pipe makers to book for attendance. Try to set up keynote activities, demonstrations, lectures, etc. by experts to help interest. Print up half page flyers to put in b&m sites and enlist their aide to talk the show up. Generate a small committee of folks to help with various aspects of organization, planning, setup, etc. Facility...registration...treasurer...program...door prizes...yadda, yadda, yadda. Have monthly face to face meetings to go over plans to date, who's done what, what still needs to be handled, etc. Abscond with all funds and that cute little hat check girl and run off to Jamaica.
