I voted for Las Vegas largely as a matter of convenience, but think New Orleans and Hong Kong are both great ideas. Dallas, to me, isn't that interesting of a city. Depending on schedule, I would go pretty much anywhere!

Please keep me on the list.

And thanks, Gerardo.

Depending on the dates and being free from work travel I would fly to HK for a meet too, or, let me also throw Bangkok out there too as an option.

Voted Vegas. One of my favourite towns in the US. Really wanted to make it this year, but couldn't. Thanks Steve (returntorolex) for the invite.

Would love to go next year, but not in late Feb, as I have booked our family's annual vacation in Disneyland. I am game for any other time of the year.

Thanks G, for doing this again.

Vegas. My wife and I have yet to go. We travel to DC yearly for police week in May, but have wanted to go to Vegas for a while. We had a great wedding, but both our parents offered to give us the money and just elope to Vegas for the hell of it. Needless to say we didn't.

Vegas is a great place to meet, easy flights and no weather issues. It's not my favorite city, but it has its advantages.

Due to all the time I took off, and money spent, on my wedding and honeymoon this year, I'm going to have to pass if it's outside of Texas.

But I'm going to really try to make it next year.

I am in the same boat JJ, plus since I just took over as Natl Acct Manager my next 2-3 months are tight since we are getting ready for some product launches and back to school and all that good stuff. But I would still love to GTG even if it's a small one here in TX

Definitely in if it's Hong Kong. Maybe at the same time as the Watches and Wonders show next year.

But can also do anywhere in the Asia region.

I also like the idea of doing it in Tokyo, Japan as Gaijin suggested.
