From member-forum at psubs.org Wed Jun 17 21:24:29 2015 From: member-forum at psubs.org (Steve McQueen via Member-Forum) Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2015 21:24:29 -0400 Subject: [Member-Forum] 2015 Convention Update Message-ID: All, I wanted to share with the full group the latest on the 2015 convention occurring next week. I believe we will be having a good time even though the final attendance is low (7). A smaller group allows some flexibility that in my mind = "sub mad men" ! Attached in a semi final agenda for those curious. Also, I will have a *Web site open during the technical sessions* (more details to follow) on June 26th that anyone can log into and see/hear the technical presentations live. The audio is one way (you can hear) but we can take your questions via a chat window (or so I have been told). This is a new technology for the conventions I would like to experiment with so be patient if it has glitches : ) Looking forward to it!

While the final attendance was small (7) we enjoyed a full but relaxing agenda with lunches and dinners and further discussions. Here are some highlights: - Snoopy drew a decent amount of curious on lookers at the International Sub Races and Psubs.org awareness was raised - Live technical session presentations were successfully streamed with chat capability - Note: While the intent was to have these presentations "recorded" on the twitch.tv site they were deleted because the control of viewing access could not be restricted as originally thought - Sneek previews of Alec Smyth's recent Snoopy/Seneca dive video and his new sub design unveiling - Member Jay Ellis shared photos of his cool early model Kittredge VAST(?) (K-250 style w/ internal side hard tanks) Bloopers: Due to a security alert the Washington Navy Yard Museum could only be accessed if you had an active duty person escorting you Thanks to those who presented, attended, watched on-line, opened their homes, drove and helped in anyway with the convention. A good team effort. Any ideas for next year? Steve -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

My suggestion would be to return to a diving convention, and I'd like to nominate Seneca as the location. My reasons: - Great local support. We not only have Al Secor as a local PSUBS member but the support of a local dive organization with boats, connections to the chamber of commerce, etc. - Close enough for the Great Lakes PSUBS fleet to attend, and within range of Dan H, Jon, myself, etc. - Super visibility even after heavy rain. Just a thought. Best, Alec > On Jun 30, 2015, at 8:51 PM, Steve McQueen via Personal_Submersibles wrote: > > All, now that the convention is over a quick summary.
