It was three years ago today that The 21 Convention kicked off as an official live event in Orlando Florida. Ha, we could hardly get a conference room back then. Hotels thought I was joking at 18 years old trying to reserve a room for two days…

Fortunately a Holiday Inn on International Drive decided otherwise when I was willing to throw down my credit card for the room.

And here we are three years and four events later on the eve of the fifth 21 Convention, online tickets available for about another 8 hours.

So is this the last event to be held in Orlando?

Certainly not, but, next year will be for the forseeable future.

I’ve thought about this for quite some time actually, and while I love Orlando – it has been my home for over 4 years now – I think five years straight is plenty.

Four is probably enough as it is, but I would like to give people who have been following the event but not yet able to attend once last chance to visit this part of the world and experience what everyone has been talking about.

As such, 2011 will be the last time The 21 Convention is held in Orlando Florida. It will be heading for another major city in North America the year after that … which one, well, I think it’s best left a surprise .

In any case, if you have considered attending The 21 Convention in Orlando, 2011 will be your last chance. “Mega Early Bird” tickets went on sale last night. They are $150 until August 10th.

However, I am capping the number of sign ups for that price at 10. I simply can’t keep releasing tickets at that price as they just don’t track with hard event expenses, such as video production/room rental/staff/photography.

I chose 10 because the “mega early bird discount” for London moved 9 seats, so limiting Orlando to 10 for the same numerical price (150) seems fair to me.

Even so, 12 seats moved for Orlando 2010 in July of 2009. As such, if you are 100% committed to attending our last event in Orlando, and want to attend for the absolute lowest price possible, I recommend signing up asap.

It’s far off, but is the best option for those who know they are attending 2011, and it helps the convention by allowing me to better track attendance statistics and plan the budget accordingly.

After 10 seats are filled the price is $195. Save $45 today and sign up for The 21 Convention 2011 (North America).

I should also mention, The Community Tapes are now available on DVD, and will be available at the event this year. Find out more by clicking the box art below.
