About the FPBA Convention....we are staying in Las Vegas! As many people have pointed out there are a lot of great things about Las Vegas..airfare, hotel room prices, restaurant choices and prices, entertainment, etc. I did feel though that the Flamingo was a bit too large for our group (my room was 1/2 mile hike from the elevators!) and I personally like a smaller, more intimate setting.
So, for next year I have found a wonderful, smaller hotel that is designed for business conferences. The hotel has one set of elevators that bring everyone straight into the conference center! No walking through casinos or long hikes through a big hotel. A lot of space, 25,000 square feet, that is all OURS! (Vendors---over 4,000 square feet just for you!) Plenty of privacy and quiet areas to have chats with friends, easy access to private areas outside, more than enough classroom space for all of our needs. I AM REALLY EXCITED about this location, I know it will give us that "big fish in a small pond" feel AND is getting remodeled (just for us, don't you know! lol) We will be able to keep that 'family' feeling which is very important to me. I don't want to announce the location or dates until I have everything in place, but with this new location and lessons learned from this year's convention, next year will be AWESOME. I will tell you this much, the 2011 theme will be HOLIDAYS and SEASONS. Pull out the brushes now and start coming up with your best ideas because we are opening up a page on the website to post EVERYONE"S paintings that represent the theme so we can use YOUR work for our advertisements! I promise to keep you updated...happy painting!
