bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - Novel Concepts For Conventions

I like the various ideas presented here enough so that I have alerted the folks that run our local (MidAtlantic) convention to them.

Perhaps an adjunct to the show (included in vendor area admission price) would be a "welcome to bonsai" series of presentations and workshops put on by members of the participating clubs. This would seem to be a good way of spreading the joy of the hobby, and getting folks started with something other than the dreaded "mallsai".
