I sent you a PM. Feel free to use me as a resource. A lot of the groundwork and details that went into my show could easily be used for yours.
Quoted from Pinphila:Plus, Something to think about is if the show is close to winter, you run the risk of bad weather.
Good point. It tends to get cold and rainy here in the northeast. But then again, pretty much every pinball show I've been to has had some rain. It's not a pinball show without some rain, lol
Another factor that may hurt attendance & participation is that people may be less able to travel to or participate in the show during this time of the year if they have school-age kids.
Quoted from too-many-pins:Force Flow pulled it off in just a few weeks up in NY.
About three months of serious planning total--about 1 month scouting possible locations and talking to people for gauging interest for bringing games, followed by two months of serious planning and promotion after landing a venue. Pretty much every evening and weekend went into that, and prepping some of my own games for the show (you really should think about committing more than just 1 or 2 games just to make sure you have a small core of "good" games for people to play). It was a pretty intense couple of months.
