>>I think they should opt for more affordable venues and cooler climates also. I'm from the south and don't need any more heat than I get from being a resident! If they want to draw larger crowds, they should cut the cost of the lodging and change the venue to one that doesn't automatically raise a red flag. Maybe I'm looking at it too simplisticly, but it seems a "no brainer."

>Amen! I have had no trouble getting approved to go to Milwaukee and Kansas City. When I went to the Palm Springs DevCon several years ago, I really had to do some spinning. Miami was my last Advisor DevCon.

I'll repeat. It would be helpful for people to express this sentiment directly to Advisor. Looks like the right address is events@advisor.com. Be sure to mention FoxPro specifically since they run events for a number of markets.
