AB Convention
Following on from Georgit79's question, I think there was one or more AB Convention at the ARTA bar in Glasgow but I was unable to go. Is there anyone here who went to the Convention? When was it last held?

I used to be a member of SIGMA and they along with associate clubs had (and still do as far I know) quite large (200+) conventions annually. AB is a question and answer site which is totally different.Some people just pop in and ask a question and get the answer and go, never to return.Of course that is not what the site owners want.The more site members,the more revenue from the advertisers.
Does anyone actually click on any of the adverts?
A proper AB meet-up would be lovely. However, the idea makes me somewhat nervous. We probably would'nt act as naturally as we do on line, where we are not trying to create impressions, etc. and, in my opinion, where we are being quite honest with each other.
It would probably take quite a time for the occasion to 'warm up'.
O n the other hand it could prove really great!
As some users will remember, the "Answerbank Convention" in Glasgow was strictly unofficial.
Once again, let me stress from the outset that any offsite meeting of users of this site would not be endorsed or supported by TheAnswerbank.
As always when discussing the idea of meeting online acquaintances in real life, remember to be safe: let someone know where you are going and who you are meeting, and make sure it is in a public place.
