Autopia Convention
I was just wondering who would be willing to come to a convention if one was ever held.
It would include hands on detailing sessions, suppliers, etc.....
It would be lots of fun as well.
This wont happen for a while, but i was just wondering if people would be willling to get together.
Airfair or transportation would not be included, but hotel and all sessions would be along with some other perks.

It would depend on where it is.
I've been to both o-t.net national meets, but they were in Houston, which is only a 4 hour drive. Last year, we had a member fly in from Australia! At least half the people who showed lived outside of Texas. I think we had a total of 70 people at one point. We also have regional and city-wide meets. Easy to get good attendance with 40,000+ members!

i'd show up. I think the best use of such an event would be to have it in sync with some other event. IE if there is a big car group that get's togeather (ie viper club  ) we tag along and give workshops or something. The best use of Autopia's tallent, is to spread the knowledge IMO. It's sad to see $90k sports cars with paint jobs less than 4 months old that are all ready swirled and abused and being washed with a wash mitt that's almost black...

Hello all,
It's a great idea. Let's have the convention in Honolulu, HI...
That will be the day...

Excellent Idea!
It would be great if some of the vendors would attend - Terry from CMA, Sal from Zaino, etc etc.
Count me in!

definitely count me in.... personally I think it should be held at one of our members' celebrity garages (Brad B. or Redcar GUY) or someplace like that. |

Well as I also have met up with people on net in real life and it was a lot of fun! Who is heading this up? Autopia? or a member? Also a meeting place it going to have to be big enough to hold a few people the way this poll looks, also what is the total point of this? Just to meet up and hang out, or to have a Detail class? Who would "teach" this class? I would love to know more about the plans of this and meet a few members!
