This has been brought up before just wanted to touch base on thoughts. This has nothing to do with anything other than I would love to visit a new city and explore. I mean ok we have seen all of St. Louis we can I think. I know in the begininning the show moved to St. Louis because things cost less. However I think by charging to attend. and other charges they and I mean the convention center have grown to the attatude of well they are here to stay so we can do what we like. I feel there are other parts of the country that could be competitive with St. Louis and TransWorld could make more. I would like to host the party in a new town, see more haunts, tourist attractions. These are just my thoughts and I am not knocking TW or anything involving the show or city. I just think a fresh face and city would bring added interest to other actavities after the show closes. Just would like some opinions and hey if you like it there then so be it I want to hear that as well. It's not a thread to put down the show or any events surrounding it just is anyone ready for a change of new sights? Shane and it's give your opinion!

Shane I a long time ago in the 80 I own a computer company and the largest convention in the world was called Comdex. It was a computer components show and was held twice a year once in Las Vegas and the alternating years in Chicago and Atlanta so every year I would chose a different locaction. I am not saying have more conventions I am suggesting that it moved between three locations in a patern. This way the host city will still be motivated in keeping you around in 3 years and we get to see other areas of the country. Just my thoughts.

I'm ALL about the southern states...ESPECIALLY ATL. That's a hop skip and a jump for me! Not gonna lie, I love STL and since this will be my fourth year in a row I've kinda gotten complacent. I love the Ren and I love City Museum.O'Shawn McClendon

Nashville
Nashville's new convention center is about to open this year. Plenty and i mean plenty of restaurants, bars, and entertainment within walking distance. Nice hotels all around. Up to six Haunts that could open for the show, seven if we count Disturbia which is only an hour and a half south of us. Just saying, Nashville would be nice!Brad Webb

Personally, I like it in St Louis lots of good food, centrallylocated.

Orlando is a 4 hr. drive from me so I would be very interested in a Haunted trade show/ convention there.

Only other place
The only other place I would suggest is Atlanta! I have never been to Nether World and I want to be able to see it in the off season someday! Otherwise I love St. Louis!

I cast my vote for Atlanta. Great city (and I'm sure the folks of Netherworld would love to show their wares.)Michael Inks

This has been Leonard's model...so you might ask him how it's working. Memphis? Really?? I'm from there and have family...and I can't seem to ever find anywhere to go visit (haunt specific) when I'm there. Plus it's ICE, ICE baby if you're looking in feb/march. LOOK back on conventions and what worked/what didn't. When you have competition from "other entertainment" (think Disney/Vegas) attendance/success wanes.
Having worked many of the different conventions, I think the key is the offerings BY the convention that are of interest to haunters. There are ways to do that that haven't even been mentioned yet....Kathryn DeSautell

Bring it South....
I vote New Orleans .....only problem is this city and its accessibility to the drinking crowd would kill them...lol...but we to have some serious Haunt action here . We also have a convention center that is giant in comparison to STL . And the weather around march is usually in the mid 70 to low 80's.
