Hello Everybody, Wanted to share some more information about the February 2010 convention in Las Vegas, NV. I have not disappeared, I have had trouble trying to post to the fbpa group and was able to talk to the website administrator this morning and have fixed the problem (yes, it was user error, lol).
I am now producing FPBA Convention and have taken a lot into consideration in planning a wonderful educational opportunity for all levels of painting. The convention will be February 9-12, 2010 at the Flamingo Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV. We have secured room rates from February 7 - 14 of $70.00 per room per night. This even includes Valentine's Day! Moving it from Orlando to Las Vegas should bring a lot of new attendees in from the West Coast and Western Canada who typically cannot afford to travel to the East Coast. Also, this puts a little more space between conventions so two are not held in the same city each year. Many people have shared that keeping it in the not-so-busy winter months is also a plus. I have reserved over 15,000 square feet of convention space (non-smoking) on ONE FLOOR to provide for comfortable class and vendor conditions. We will have 24 hour jam/social rooms so people have a place to relax among friends. In addition, Mark Reid is producting the first annual North American Body Painting Championships and it will be held February 12 - 14 at the same hotel. There will be tickets available for the evening shows and an opportunity to watch some of the artists in action as they compete for $24,000 worth of prize money. (The Face Painting and Body Art Convention is a separate entity and not affiliated with the North American Body Painting Championships. The design of the two events "piggy backing" is to allow people to participate in both while not having to plan for two separate events making travel and hotel arrangements a bit easier.) So, make sure you mark your calendar February 8 - 14 (Valentine's is on a Sunday and the following day is President's Day) to be in Las Vegas. To reserve your room please call 1-800-732-2111 and mention face painting to get our special room rate. Check out the website at www.fpbaconvention.com/2010 and watch for more information. The website should be able to take online registrations within the week. Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions or suggestions that would make your participation in our event more beneficial for you. Thank You. Karen M.
