Eventually we shouldn't just have two hours of seminars during the show hours. We should have eight hours of seminars each day and we should have maybe 3 seminars going at any given time. I've been to other conventions that are like this. You have to choose from a bunch of things at any given time and you can't do everything. It's part of the fun. Dealers should be able to leave the show floor for a couple hours to lead or attend a seminar. I can't imagine that most dealers don't have someone that could mind the store for a couple hours. I'm not saying we're ready for this next year but it's the direction I hope we'll be moving as our membership and the attendance at the convention increase.
