+geoguyver Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 I tried a search for "convention" and could not find a post. Might have missed some... I know state and regional cachers get together for "meets", but has there ever been a Geocaching Convention set up? I just think from when I go to conventions for work how cool it would be to have vendors selling geocaching products and maybe a couple speakers on placing caches, travel bugs, etc. Who here in the forums would travel to a GeocacheCON and what would you be most interested in seeing there?

+PandyBat Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 I think it sounds like a great idea! I'd travel for it. Quote Link to comment

+The Leprechauns Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 The closest thing to a convention would perhaps be last summer's GeoWoodstock and the forthcoming GeoWoodstock II over July 4th weekend in the Nashville area. Rather than being local or statewide events, these have been set up with the intention of drawing participants from far and wide. I really don't forsee geocachers flocking in large numbers to a downtown convention center to tour booths set up by Garmin and Magellan. Hot dogs at the picnic shelter and a few geocaches are what will motivate me to drive to an event three states away. Quote Link to comment
+carleenp Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 I'm going to GeoWoodstock II for caching and catfish. That is my kind of convention! Quote Link to comment
ghOzt Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 What was it that was held in Las Vegas just a couple of months ago? That may have just been an approvers-only event... I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment
+CubDenMom Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 The closest I remember of late was the Midwest Invitational Geocaching Competition. Sounded great, wish I could have made it down there for it!Midwest Invitational Geocaching Competition Quote Link to comment
+TeamK-9 Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 I started a topic a while back about a possible Geocaching Field Day, but I couldn't find it during a quick search... Quote Link to comment
