Here is a thread for people to discuss possible locations for the 2017 TDIFest.
What is required to host a Fest?
If you are in an area of the country that you feel is conducive to a TDIFest and you have the time and energy to put into planning a national event for several hundred people, please post here.
TDIClub has several TDIFest "regulars" who are willing to assist with administrative duties, budgeting, registration, and general oversight. What we're really looking for is local people who want to bring this event to their home town.
Please do not use this as a casual location suggestion area. Things like "have you considered having a Fest in ______ location?" and "______ location would really be swell" are not productive if you aren't willing to do the work to make it happen.
With all of that said, let's get the planning for 2017 started! The sooner we get started, the more options we have at our disposal.
What is required to host a Fest?
- Hotel with affordable room rates (sub $150/night)
- Group activity space (usually a hotel with a conference center)
- Event ideas (auto-cross, drag racing, group scenic drive, etc.)
- Food ideas (people need to eat)
- Reasonable weather for the time of year (historically Labor Day Weekend, but that isn't set in stone)
- A local (100 mile radius?) group of people (recommend 3 to 6 dedicated individuals) who can see the process from inception to execution
