Conventions aren't just for boring extended business meeting anymore. It used to be that conventions were something dreaded as an extension of your daily work life. There was nothing fun about them and they were full of far too many customer meetings and training sessions. Conventions were usually held in less than desirable locations that didn't add anything to the already dreaded event.

If you were lucky you could draw things to a close in time to get back to your hotel room and watch a good TV show. My how times have changed!

Not only are conventions focused on hobbies and interests, but they are also held in exciting and wonderful locations. Sure there are still plenty of business and industry or trade associations, but even those are a much more desirable even to participate in.
