If organized groups or trade shows want attendance, they know to hold it in
an area with great appeal. That's why Las Vegas is so popular with
conventions. San Francisco is gaining ground. People need more draw than
just the meeting to get them to part with lotsa dollars (travel &
accommodations.) There are numerous group meetings and trade shows that I
attend. But only if they are close, or if they are in a unique area.
Charlotte is neither.
