After seeing photos of the vegas con, it looks like a really fun experience. I would love to attend a wam con on the east coast!!
A major city would be nice. My recommendations would be Atlanta, Orlando, Jacksonville, and Charlotte. I havent been to savannah or jacksonville but those would be good options if you wanted an ocean setting.
Charleston has that, along with a well run airport with a lot of connections and tons of lodging that is mostly empty during the tourist off season. Major wedding destination combined with college town so whatever you can think of, someone's already done it. Also lots of tidal mud if that's anyone's thing.
It's the only city on the east coast that has all of those things combined. Just food for thought.
Nah, Boston has them, too. In fact so does RI, CT and NY (although use the tidal mud there at your own risk lol). Just the economics (among other things) are totally out of whack up here. Just about the entire northeast is like that. What you will spend on a single night stay up here, you can probably double your money south of VA.
For instance, I stayed at a Holiday Inn near Myrtle Beach one week for work for literally half of what I would have spent in most places up here. If that wasn't the case, I would probably petition doing something up here. It isn't like we don't have the venues

I was thinking in terms of all that, plus US Foods Chef Store in the city. The amount of stuff they have, plus no membership and the pricing will really spoil someone.

Just food for thought
Quick, someone create a Meetup app for wammers.
I know there's a Personals forum here, but an app UX would make it so much easier to connect with wammers who are willing to meet others in their area.
I'd try it as a personal AI project but I know we have some actual programmers in here...

Probably not enough interest for this area, but this is much closer for me, driving distance vs. flying, probably not the case for most though.
I'd be more likely to do Florida over Vegas. Definitely much cheaper, and an easier flight. Personally, I'd rather have it in fall over spring for a bit of a break from the heat, but I'm already down there in the fall for a yearly trip that would be weird to coincide with this haha.
Gotta say, Florida is straight up not safe for anyone queer or trans to navigate into or out of who is queer or trans, so I *high key* wouldn't want it to be there considering that.

I am down for a Florida meet I did a pie-throwing booth at Fetish con and it was well received and I had a blast. Florida hosts a few kinky adult events XXX erotica and fetish con. Let me know whats going on.
A couple things to consider. Because a lot of hotels frown on large gatherings like this. make sure that you know the laws in the area too. For something like this, you want a house to rent for the week or weekend for really... advanced... fetish / meetings.
For those stating there are no stores. GFS foods has some stores in Florida. They are where I go for WAM supplies now. It is what Sam's club used to be.
Far as a convention. Maybe get some conference space some place for it. I know Dragon Con is in Atlanta, another Fetish event is in Tampa. Find a venue that is used to fetish conventions. So they know what goes on. It can make life easier for everyone. Get a floor or 3 of rooms so some person doesn't walk out of a room half kicked in the ass from boozing and covered in pies and scares some family. A floor of suites and/or connected rooms isn't a bad idea too.
Love you, too
