In addition to what Emery has stated, simply FINDING a suitable AND affordable site to handle all the needs for a convention is a very tough task.


I'm a part of a non-profit ham radio group that puts on a 2-day ham convention (4th weekend in July) in Oklahoma City that has had between 650 or so to 1500+ attendees in the 25 or so years it has run. And we don't have to provide a suitable campground for that!


You must also remember that the Spring and Fall conventions pretty much monopolize the area for around an entire week, including setup and tear down.


Kim isn't much for bragging, but she does a whale of a job trying to keep all these balls in the air!

That message was sent before I was done with it.

As I said, the selection of Convention sites are done for the benefit of members and are not based of how many GMCs are in the state.
It might be more accurate to use the number of GMCMI members in each state as that is more representative of how many attendees we might get when we pick a site.

Karen - you might consider discussing the information with Kim Weeks, Convention Manager for GMCMI as she can tell you what criteria the club uses to select locations for Conventions.

Here are all the GMC International Rallies from 1982 to 2017, shown per state, plus totals by regions. The total coaches per state are from the map on the Registry site, which dates from 2009.
