Your thoughts/suggestions for Palladium Kickstarter Con???
Posted: Fri Sep 02, 2016 7:55 pm
We need your help!
There is a volunteer team of fans are working on a Kickstarter to fund another Palladium Open House style event. But it would be in a hotel, maybe near the Palladium warehouse, but all sorts of other options are being considered too.
We are now receiving bids and information from a number of hotels in a 20 mile radius of PB. Depending on these results, we may be expanding the search to 50 miles which includes Toledo and Ann Arbor. We are seeking an okay hotel with lots of meeting space at a good price. The goal is hotel that costs around $100/night and the more bennies the better, but the most important aspect beyond price is the amount of meeting space and how we can configure that space for maximum fun. AKA, we are trying to avoid the giant deafening ballroom, but also avoid the weird small rooms scattered everywhere.
This thread is asking for more fan involvement. We want your thoughts and suggestions. Be positive. This is totally doable thing. Several RPG conventions have been launched via Kickstarter.
IMMEDIATE TOPIC FOR EVERYONE!!!
The current frontrunner hotel is the Holiday Inn Livonia.

The Motor City Steam Con was just there and the Conclave40 scifi convention will be there in October

Any of you familiar with this hotel?
The Holiday Inn Livonia is rated 3.4 stars, but its got lots of meeting room. I noted the Steampunk Con in July got $89 per night and the SciFi con in October got $106 per night as their rate. That's a $17 swing. Anyone know anything about these two events??
As for WHEN??? we are working on that too. Let's first get a couple of A grade choices for the venue and based on their 2017 and 2018 schedules, we can work on the When next. No point in choosing a date until we know what proper venues exists.
Also, feel free to bombard us with questions too!
