You are right Scott.
This was posted by Michael Haynes of Cinevent, to one of the other
poster forums just last night:
"To clarify where things stand with Cinevent, here is some additional
information. As some of you may have heard, the hotel we have used in
the past has closed, at least temporarily, and we will not be having
the convention there this year.
Over the past week or so, we have spoken with a dozen hotels in the
Columbus area. We have found one which looks like a promising fit,
and we are working to see if an appropriate agreement can be come to.
We fully expect that Cinevent will continue to have an extensive film
program and a vibrant dealer's room with all manner of film-related
merchandise from films themselves (in most incarnations from 8mm to
Blu-Ray) to lobby cards and posters to books and magazines and more!
We expect to be able to make a definitive announcement on the details
of the next Cinevent in the very near future.
We thank all past Cinevent attendees for their support and we look
forward to seeing everyone in Columbus!"

From what I am hearing, that is not accurate. IF Cinevent is able
to lock-up a new location in downtown Columbus, it will have both
classic screenings AND a dealer’s room as always. As I receive more
info from the local Cinevent people I will pass it along.

Morrie called me yesterday Rich and told me that he and steve were
parting ways amicably and the Steve would only be doing Film and
Morrie would only be doing Posters. That's all I know. I will be
headed to Cleveland.

that is not correct.
Cinevent still plans on having dealers and movies. They've been
working on getting a hotel and the Columbus Convention Bureau has
been helping them and they're trying to figure out the best option
This doesn't surprise me as they're doing the same thing that any
convention faced with a necessary change of venue would be doing
I suspect I'm going to get a table at either show and do both on
different days
personally I think it would be great to have 2 shows, I just wish
they were on different weekends to make it easier

Scott, I spoke with Morrie earlier today. Steve is going to
continue Cinevent in Columbus but it will be a film only show. No
posters. Effectively Cinevent (with regard to posters) will become
The Hollywood Poster Auction(or Convention, i didnt quite catch the
exact name). So basically Cinevent is moving to cleveland under a
new name with posters and auction only. I'm fine with it. I'm
thrilled someone is picking it up and moving forward.
Kirby I believe Philipp was referring to people who sit and just
talk and/or bitch about the hobby but are not particularly active
in advancing or promoting it.
Thanks to Steve H. for holding the event all these years. Hopefully
everyone will continue to support the new venue/show and help it
grow. I would still like to see the date moved in the future. I
understand hotel rates are cheaper over this holiday but there is a
reason for that: No one wants to travel because it is a family
holiday, like the 4th of July.

So if Cinevent is able to find a replacement venue (if not this
year, then 2016) will this Cleveland show then compete on the same
Memorial Day weekend? Morrie states that this will be a „show that
you will wish to attend for many years.‰ If that‚s the case,
dealers will have to make a choice, as will attendees. Is that a
good thing for collectors?

Subject: [MOPO] Hollywood Poster Auction and Convention 2015 -
Cleveland, OHIO!
For 20 years, the Hollywood Poster Auction and Cinevent were paired
successfully in Columbus on Memorial Day Weekend. Saddened by the
challenges that Steve Haynes has had to deal with recently, and the
closing of the past venue, the Ramada, I have had to move quickly
to assure that my consignors would be well served, and family
members who run my auction with me would have everything in place
and ready to go by May 23. Time has been of the essence.
Attempts to find another place in Columbus for a seamless
transition have failed for me, as there was not a venue suitable
to both the convention's and my needs space wise. What was found
to meet the needs of a film show was not adequate to give me what
what was required for my auction.
Encouraged by several colleagues and collectors to move the auction
to Cleveland, I quickly acted and found the Sheraton Hotel at
Cleveland Hopkins Airport to be more than suitable in many respects.
Steve and I are on the best of terms, and understand each other's
difficulties at this time, and we have wished each other well as we
move forward. We will both have dealer's rooms, but our conventions
will be quite different. Steve will focus on film and I , of
course, on movie memorabilia.
Details will follow in the next Classic Images for hotel, auction,
and dealer table information. Special pricing will be available.
Please call The Last Moving Picture Company, 440-256-3660, and
speak to Dwayne or myself. I am looking forward to a show that you
will wish to attend for many years. Dealer packets will be sent to
all dealers who have done my New York, Chicago, and Hollywood shows
in the past. Let us know if your address has changed.
Your support will be appreciated!
