Nice venue. Surprised that attendance wasn't a bit higher. Another 200 and it would definitely be on the SSA where to go list. Weather up north was a factor for some that planned to drive.

Airline connections were not direct, but got to fly in a Dash-8 a couple of times getting to/from a major hub. That was kind of fun. Also got out of there in an RJ-200 after the BOD meeting the year prior, which wasn't much fun but interesting for the first time on a Bombardier.

Generally prefer a convention center attached to a hotel also though I thought they did a good job with transport.
Oh, yeah, forgot about the hotel being separate from the convention center in Greenville. Much better to all be in one place.

What about the 2023 Convention?

I went to a convention in New Orleans in March once...it was great.

YES! Let's get back to annual SSA conventions!
SSA Directors, are you listening?
The SSA conventions at Arlington near DFW were a great location.
Good weather and near a major airline hub in the center of the USA, more or less.

Burt, if that doesn't work, there's always Saskatoon!
Seriously, I've been to Reno (2), Ontario (2), Atlanta, Little Rock (2), Greenville. All good. I'd go back to any, and DFW sounds interesting too. A fair few new gliders to see.

Central Florida, the last week of February/1st week of March. Come for the Convention, and stay for the Seniors and the great flying that starts then.
