>The downside to Vancouver location is that VFP conferences are *never* held in this area or Seattle. Las Vegas is probably the closest; often it's Florida!

Didn't you have a Vancouver event recently about a developers's conference?

As for VFP specific events, there use to be the LA regional event. Barry Lee was doing it. That one was closer to Vancouver than Las Vegas. As for the rest, it's mostly resort oriented for Advisor's ones and regional event such as Whil's, Russ's Rainer's and Igor's.
