Hey guys, I work in southside and would prefer not going out of the city for the meeting. I don't mind driving to downtown because I believe it is a 'central' jacksonville point, and from what I hear of the clientel, peak 10 seems to be more central (closer to orange park but not too much further from beaches and downtown/westside). I believe that AT&T would be a great location to hold it, but I'm pretty far south in Jacksonville and Orange Park is still far for me, let alone anyone at the beaches/northside/san marco to join us. When I get back into town, I'll see what I can do with venues from FSCJ (downtown and deerwood) but last I talked to my contacts, you have to carry insurance. We may be able to get that waved (or sponsored) at one of the locations.
