Title: Joe Con/Joe Meet 2015
Post by: Steve on September 12, 2014, 08:24:43 AM: I've been talking to a few you about combining the Joe Con with one of my events. Just wanted to put the idea out in the open. I've been running 5 events a year for the last 12 years. There is plenty of space available to add a Joe Con/Meet and the toy collecting attendees are established.
www.toycon.ca

Purchasing the rights to the previous Joe Con are not profitable for me, nonetheless, a Joe Convention is still possible.

Let me know your thoughts as I will be booking my 2015 date very soon.

Post by: Steve on September 13, 2014, 02:16:30 PM: I'm not looking to run it. I'm offering a place to host it and possibly covering some costs for guests. My summer and fall dates are not set but are planned for mid-late June and early Nov.

Canadian Joe Con wasn't part of the transfer to Jon. That is still with Mike.

Speaking for myself, there is no way i could run a show nor do i have any desire to do so.

What city do you have in mind?

You'd be best off talking to Mike about that. I'm not interested in running a con either. I would like to get a social event for JoeCanuck members going before the end of the year.

Post by: canprime on September 23, 2014, 02:19:48 PM: Honestly you are better off just doing your own branding for Joe-centric part of your shows.

Mike might do his own thing, but the trend has been going away from anything happening. So why not do something yourself?

I think people were hoping that a fresh start might revitalize the community.
