This committee will hold its first meeting at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, October 30. Some District Directors will serve as advisors to this group. One will preside over the opening meeting and will ask the group to select the chair, who must be an appointed member of your committee and an official Convention voting delegate.

Your chair will present the committee's report to the Convention in the Second Business Meeting on Friday afternoon. This committee is responsible for informing the Convention of all background information it needs to act upon your report and recommendations.

Links to hosting interest and information, cost comparisons, goals set by prior Conventions, pros/cons from ConferenceDirect (our sourcing contractor for conferences), and an executive summary are located to the left. Director of Finance and Operations Brown and Executive Director Gomulinski will be available to answer questions and can attend to provide insight in the operation of previous Conventions. In addition, Stefanie Maher from ConferenceDirect can be available to answer questions.

The committee can recommend a single location as the host of the 2029 Convention or can recommend a preferred location and an alternate location if something doesn't work out with the preferred location during contract negotiations. Per Convention policy, the decision made by the Convention is reviewed by the Executive Council prior to contract signing. If something does not work out, the Executive Council can send it back to the 2026 Convention to reconsider.

Please provide electronic copies of all files, motions, reports, and proposals to the Convention Chair and Executive Director via email (tbp.convbus@tbp.org) prior to the Business Meeting when a report will be presented.
