Dear Rich and John,
Thank you for putting together the list of 5 questions and sending them to the
Past & Future SWL Fest Attendees.
For me the few times I have attended I really felt a connection with everyone,
meeting new people (which I love) and the conversations with all. I am beyond
happiness right now because the in person Fest is coming back along with the
Zoom portion for folks that might not be able to attend in person but can still
hear, see and feel connected to others attending in person and via Zoom.
1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. No.
4. Yes.
Thank you, John

Since the advent of COVID, we’re maintained an annual Fest by using the ZOOM
platform. This has proven popular and successful and will continue. However,
we have always considered a return to an “in-person” Fest something desirable
if at all possible. This year we decided to move the dates for the Fest to May
to address two potential weather-related roadblocks to doing so: ease of
travel and the likelihood that the potential for illness lowers as the weather
moderates.
This “unscientific” poll with help us determine the best course of action for
the “‘Winter’ SWL Fest” this year. We hope that everyone on these three
platforms interested in the Fest will participate in this poll. Just number
your answers according to the template below and e-mail them to both of us by
January 21 directly. We’ll let you know what we’ve learned immediately
thereafter.
Here are the 5 questions:
1. Yes or No. I would be willing to once again attend an in-person Fest.
2. Yes or No. To demonstrate that willingness, I would be willing to make a
nonrefundable upfront payment of $50 to $100. This would ensure enough
participation to cover unavoidable fixed costs like a meeting room(s) and
electronic costs.
3. Yes or No. Would a significant increase (say 25%) in costs (for travel,
lodging, food) to attend affect your decision?
4. Yes or No. Should ALL of the features of past Fests be retained? These
include: the Forums, the convention atmosphere by holding the event for two
days in a sizeable hotel, the Banquet, the Raffle, the Silent Auction, the
Swap Meet, the Hospitality Room.
5. If you answered “No” to #4, what features could be done without?
Please feel free to add any further comments you deem helpful.
Thank you for your help. If you have any questions, please feel free to send
them along as well..
